Thanks Mike,
A bit of playing has shown why we haven’t had too many complaints, but when
there is one we know why. The one user that had issues every couple of minutes
was in between 2 AP’s, but each AP had a different controller backend so
re-auth. Migrated so that both AP’s were on the same
Based on the feedback I'm starting to think that the delay in auth is
triggering a login fail on the Cisco side, and after three attempts,
it's excluding the client for 15 mins.
One of my students said: The WPA WiFi just goes away and then I can't
connect to any of the SSIDs (WPA, portal, open)
Has anyone suggested to students that only have single-band wireless adapters
to obtain a dual-band USB adapter for better performance (by driving them to
the 5ghz band)? If so, have you seen adapters that you would not recommend in
an enterprise environment? We have a Cisco wireless
I suggested a USB adapter for the first time yesterday! An expensive
alternative to asking your neighbor to turn off their bleating HP
printer...but that was the option chosen.
You might want to survey the area to verify your hypothesis. My guess would
be that you have more 18 year old printers
At UMass Amherst we use USB Dual band Adapters to help diagnose wireless issues
for students on campus. If they only have a single band adapter we lend them a
Linksys AE2500 dual band and see if that helps. I'm not sure on the actual
numbers, but switching from a single band to a dual band
I'm just shocked that in 2013 there are still computers (laptops)
shipping with single-band WiFi adapters. Apple's been shipping dual-band
since the introduction of the MacBook in 2006, and included n in late
2006.
While there is nothing that you can do about it now, perhaps your
new-student
I like this page that Drexel has…

I have found that this delay will go away if the cert used for WPA2 auth is
updated to also always trust for SSL.
find the cert in Keychain Access - then under trust settings add Secure
Socket Layer (ssl) - by default only EAP and X.509 is explicitly trusted
Unfortunately this is something that

That seems suboptimal. Not just because you need to get your clients to change
configs, but I wonder
Apple has confirmed that it is a cert validation delay... and they do
respond... eventually - setting the dealy to 30 - at least allow the Macs
to eventually get online - vs getting stuck in the auth state and requiring
user intervention.
I don't think it should impact security holes...
