Jacob, There are many reasons to require authentication for WLANs, but the reason that seems to sell the administration on it is the VISA-CISP security standard. If your college accepts credit cards you may have to require it to be compliant; depends on the number of transactions, etc.

We are looking at implementing Bradford Campus Manager and at the same time considering Aruba... speaking of encryption. So my question is two fold... Do those of you that are using a solution like Aruba's or Bluesocket's have a Campus Manager, Clean Access solution or SafeConnect solution? If so, is there really a point in requiring authentication for wireless?
