Are you using Aruba's defaults for the dot1x authentication profile? Their 
defaults are not very good.  Here is an example I received from Washington & 
Lee University.

!
aaa authentication dot1x "Example"
   timer idrequest_period 10
   max-requests 2
   timer wpa-key-period 2000
   timer wpa2-key-delay 120
   timer wpa-groupkey-delay 100
   validate-pmkid
!

I know this has been tested on ArubaOS 3.1.4.x & 5.x. I am not sure about 6.x.

Subject: Any known problems with Mac OS 10.6 and MSCHAPv2 and Aruba equipment?

Hi,

We are in the process of testing support for MSCHAPv2 on our wireless network. 
(We have been supporting only TTLS/PAP up to now.)

I have a radiator/ntlm configuration that works with MSCHAPv2 and Windows7 and 
Windows Vista machines. We cannot get it to work with Mac OS 10.6 or MacOS Lion 
or iPhones or iPads.

I have the radiator logs in debug mode and it looks like the ntlm 
authentication is working just fine. There are no error messages but the Mac OS 
X machine never gets an IP address.

It seems that our problem might be related to the Aruba access points we are 
using because we have an engineer that has a different type of access point set 
up at home with a windows radius server and his Mac works ok there with 
MSCHAPv2.

I'm wondering if there are any known problems with Aruba equipment and MSCHAPv2 
and Mac OS 10.6 and higher? The Aruba equipment is showing a "mic failure" 
towards the end of the negotiation.

We are running version 4.7 of radiator on a linux machine.

Any ideas appreciated :)

Thanks-
