Oh, excellent. I just joined this list hoping to query the members on finding more information on doing wireless+activedirectory+freeradius, unfortunately I could not find any good postings, or web toots/examples. I made a trip to my local bookstore and just read in the oreilly 802.11 book on building wireless infrastructure that I would need to use Microsoft IAS. Is this false ? Are people using Active Directory successfully ? I have a linux box that is currently acting as a tacacs server while authenticating using winbind etc, and was hoping to make it a radius server as well. If anyone has any good links with an explanation on how to do this I would greatly appreciate it. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
