Vista Issues Seeing Wireless Network

2008-07-21 Thread Jorge Bodden

Hello All,

I was wondering if any of you guys have experienced this type of behavior.

I had a device that had no connectivity issues at the first location.  
Then when I moved it to another/second location it was not able to see 
any of these networks, at all.  I thought that it may be a difference in 
the way the two controllers were set up.  Therefore, I put all the APs 
at the second location on the same controller as the APs in the first 
location.  This got the same results. 

I have read several articles pertaining to issues with Vista and SSIDs 
that are not broadcasting.  But all my SSIDs are broadcasting.  However, 
we are in the middle of testing to see if the laptop now works at the 
site when telling the PC to connect to a network that is /no 
broadcasting/.  But if any members of the group have seen this issue 
before, and could provide information, it would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Jorge Bodden

btw...all other devices work fine (XP, Macs  Linux)

Logging into a Active Directory domain via wireless 802.1x

2008-07-21 Thread Youngquist, Jason R.
We have several kiosk computers setup in our Student Commons area, and
they are accessing the Internet wirelessly.  What I'd like to be able to
do is join the computers to a domain and then have the students login
with their Active Directory credentials.  We will also be configuring
the computers to use 802.1x over wireless.  From what I've googled,
wireless doesn't appear to be setup until a person logs into the
computer.  

 

Is there any way to accomplish this?

 

Thanks.

The computer should first authenticate to IAS with its machine
credentials. Assuming your IAS server is properly setup, the machine
get on wireless to authenticate a user. When a user logs in, it will
re-authenticate with the user's credentials.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Logging into a Active Directory domain via wireless 802.1x

If the machine is domained and you check the box Authenticate as
computer when computer information is available in the SSID setup under
the Authentication tab then on boot up the computer account will be
used to log in providing you allow it in your radius config. Our radius
is a Microsoft IAS box that is a member of the domain and I specifically
allow DOMAIN\Domain users and DOMAIN\Domain Computers and it works
great.

 

You can watch at boot up an IAS event log entry for the computer logging
in and then after a user logs in there is a new entry from that same
client machine for the specific user.

 

Hope it helps.

Greg
