Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Network Authentication question
We're in the early stages of doing Aruba ClearPass. It's a very flexible RADIUS system at it's core, which means that a) it appears to be able to handle every use case we've thrown at it, including integrating with home-brew backend systems, and b) there's a lot of initial setup work to accommodate all of that flexibility. Guest network access is also a very strong point, and is also where we're initially deploying it (More specifically, we're using it to handle multi-vendor guest wireless networks while we transition from Juniper to Aruba). It also includes onboarding and MDM functionality, but we haven't looked into them yet. Cloudpath is an excellent onboarding system - we've been using it for about three years now. Their RADIUS side is fairly new, and has a pretty targeted use case - authenticating cert based users, and handling a MAC RADIUS style registration database for non 1x capable devices. That might be good enough for you, but if you do anything fancy like require registration in an IPAM system, you're probably going to run into limitations in a hurry. Feel free to let me know if you have any follow up questions, or I'd be happy to chat via phone.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Network Authentication question
We are using freeradius and it works very well. It's linux and CLI based though so would recommend having a good solid base of those skills in the team that's supporting it. It's been reliable and flexible. Another +1 for Cloudpath onboarding, we've been on XC for quite some time and are currently moving to ES. We won't be using their internal radius at this point but will look into it later. We mainly use PEAP for auth but have introduced EAP-TLS with Cloudpath, it's gone well and we expect to be going live with that soon We don't run wired dot1x but did get a pilot up and running about 18 months ago with Cisco 3750 series switches. We had it all up and running with Windows, Apple Linux devices able to auth. Over time we noticed some issues but with no project to head down this path it was all spare time work. As such it got dropped, we don't know where the issues were but the initial setup was easy so we are confident it would all be good providing we have the time to implement properly. -- Jason Cook The University of Adelaide, AUSTRALIA 5005 Ph: +61 8 8313 4800 From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Danny Eaton Sent: Thursday, 25 June 2015 5:56 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Network Authentication question Is anyone doing any of these for wired, using 802.1X?

Favourite Wifi Dongles
Just putting out a question to see if anyone has preferences when it comes to USB dongles. We typically like to have a number available and they have helped out of few times over the years to deal with broken internal cards, 2.4ghz only cards and temporary setups etc. We've often purchased a couple of varieties, tested them and stocked up on our favourite. Considering things like performance, stability, included drivers in OS, supporting multiple OS's. Our most recent was a few years ago now Edimax AC1200 (EW-7822UAC) but have also been pretty happy with Linksys. The edimax performs pretty well and supports Windows, Mac and Linux. But it's time to get a few more. -- Jason Cook Technology Services The University of Adelaide, AUSTRALIA 5005 Ph: +61 8 8313 4800 JabberCall Mehttps://ts-plaza-guest-exp-e.voip.net.adelaide.edu.au:9443/call/jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au browser-based video chat e-mail: jason.c...@adelaide.edu.aumailto:jason.c...@adelaide.edu.aumailto:jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au%3cmailto:jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au CRICOS Provider Number 00123M --- This email message is intended only for the addressee(s) and contains information which may be confidential and/or copyright.

On that same point (also a Cloudpath customer), as I look at ClearPass and ISE onboarders, I find they don't go far enough- can't check firewalls, disable IPv6, etc. If the vendors put a little more development in to their own onboarders, they'd give Cloudpath a run for their money.
