We are roughly 2/3 of the way through a migration of users to 802.1x, having retired our wireless VPN option and working towards drastically reducing our captive portal gateways. Before the opening of school, we put a lot of effort into "scripting" client configuration utilities for XP, Vista, and Mac, which basically created a new wireless profile on each machine using the native supplicant in each OS. We did look at both ID Engines and Juniper's Odyssey client as potential alternatives, but each had limits at the time (no Vista support, no Mac, no support for foreign languages, etc) Although our methods were pretty good, as we look towards improvement we're wondering if anyone has actually tried ID Engines on a large scale (we have 5,000 + users on when we get busy, and that will grow fast as the WLAN continues to grow), and wouldn't mind sharing feedback?
