Hello all, Here is an update on the state of play with Radiator support for Cisco Aironet and LEAP.
Cisco Aironet wireless routers can be configured to use LEAP to authenticate wireless clients. LEAP is a secret, nonstandard Cisco proprietary extension to the Radius protocol. Cisco have refused to publically release or describe the LEAP protocol specification, and it is not supported by any other wireless vendor. Radiator can proxy LEAP requests, but until Cisco publically release the LEAP protocol specification, Radiator will not support LEAP authentication. There are other wireless router vendors that support authentication with the standard Radius protocol. Customers considering using Aironet with Radius authentication should ask themselves and their Cisco representative how they can be sure LEAP authentication is secure if Cisco won't publically release the specification. -- Mike McCauley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Open System Consultants Pty.
