Fabrice,

Thank you for the information;   The limitation on the password attribute
security is a show stopper for us as we can't deviate from our current SSHA
hashing mechanisms.

This may not be a bad thing, as our goal of implementing a public wireless
AP that allowed both self-registration but could be bypassed by existing
credentials (username=email) may have proven to be too confusing for users.


So we are now considering the following options, with hopes of a successful
pilot this week.  Perhaps you can comment on which options are not easily
accomplished; our core objective is simply to be able to use the Secure
SSIDs with an ability to revoke and administrate;  Being able to
communicate by email and use a shared secret are secondary objectives.

A) captive portal, everyone self-registers devices with an email address
and use a publicly posted shared key (shared key solves the issue of people
on the fringe of the service area using it)
B) captive portal, everyone self-registers devices with an email address
every six months  (okay, but more difficult to prevent unauthorized users
at the fringe of the service area)
C) simple captive portal, everyone self-registers by simply accepting the
AUP   (keep our fingers crossed that we don't start to see a horde of
tablet users move from the local coffee shop to park benches next door)

When I was looking at the sources configuration page, there is a note that
all the external sources (i.e. email registration) do not support 802.1X;
 Does that mean that we can not use secure SSIDs with self-registration?

cheers,
Ian
