Trying other authentication methods when the first is invalid

2013-01-11 Thread Meyers, Dan
Sorry for the wall of tet, I'd rather give too much info than not enough. Our FreeRADIUS server (version 2.1.8 running on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64, installed from packages) currently does mac-based authentication of hosts onto edge switches using perl scripts (rlm_perl) talking to the API for our ne

I'm sure I must just be being thick with our FreeRADIUS config, but i've completed failed to find anything online or in the docs explaining *what* i'm doing wrong, so i'm posting here. We've had a FreeRADIUS server set up for some time now, with an SSL certificate directly signed by one of Verisig

I was having this exact same problem for a significant period of time when I bought a new Verisign cert for our servers which was chained (the old one being directly root signed, which Verisign no longer do). It would appear to be a bug/security patch in XP sometime after SP2 that causes this. Odds

Still trying to get our FreeRADIUS system working nicely after the AD upgrade to server 2008.
