I'm new to radius in general, and wonder if anyone can provide me with good a nod in the right direction. I installed freeradius 0.9.2 from source on RedHat advance server 2.1. Initial testing as described in INSTALL went fine.
We will be getting Apple Airport Extreme base stations ( http://www.apple.com/airport/) for company WiFi access, and I want to manage the allowed MAC list for all the base stations centrally on the radius server. What exactly do I need to configure on the freeradius side? Do I have to configure users as well, or can you just put up a list of MACs somewhere? I see the Airport supports Cisco's LEAP, do I need to configure freeradius with LEAP support, or is this not necessary if Cisco equipment aren't used?
If I later want to configure user auth in addition to MAC auth, can this be done via PAM smb? We usually use pam_smb to authenticate things like ssh sessions against our NT4 domain controllers. Will this work with freeradius/apple's airport? How do users authenticate before they can use the WLAN? Is extra client software required for Windows/Mac OS X?
Thanks, Jan
