Greetings list,

I'm interested in setting up our various wifi access points to use central 
authentication for my users. That means a radius setup. I'm looking for 
documentation or some general help on how to set this up.

Here's what we have: Windows 2008 domain controllers, Apple Airport Extreme 
access points, and Windows/Mac clients to connect.

I've installed the NPS role/service, and followed the instruction to setup 
802.1X authentication to my test airport... left most of the defaults (there 
are a lot of settings to screw up here!) setup the airport to point to the 
server and was still unable to get the client -> router -> authentication over 
RADIUS to work. Obviously, I'm in need of some training here.

As I read up on it, it appears that A) Windows 2008's implementation is more 
complicated than 2003 and B) I will need to setup certificates, which I'm 
clueless about.

So, where should I begin? Is there documentation which address this? Or perhaps 
a good book somebody can recommend?

Thanks in advance.
