I want to setup a RADIUS server here at UC Hastings
Is anybody using IAS in Windows Server 2003 for their RADIUS server?
Is there a recommended solution from Microsoft to Install WPA / 802.1x
Free Radius vs. a Microsoft Solution.
Also what is the volume of users you have accessing the RADIUS
Wanted to get some input from those who have a proliferation of wireless
VoIP in their environments...or those who have experience in this
Is there a significant advantage to have a a/b/g deployment as against a
b/g one when having to support wireless VoIP
Thank you,
Ranjit

Nick,
I miss Radiator in your list. A basic pentium4 based server would cover
your needs as far as hardware is concerned.
All will work correctly.
The Microsoft radius server only does peap. The issue with that it needs
a very controlled client setup. Not all windows solutions work nicely.
The
Microsoft RADIUS does PEAP and TLS not just PEAP. For us and over 2500
users authenticating on wired and wireless ports IAS works great.
We have Windows, MAC OS X clients as well as port authentication from
Enterasys hardware authenticating against it.

From:
You can get Microsoft Wireless Zero Config to work with EAP-GTC
(generic Token Card).. EAP-GTC doesn't encrypt the credentials (think
PAP). EAP-GTC is done over PEAP so you need something to terminate the
outer PEAP tunnel and then pass the credentials (which are in clear text
of course) to
Ditto on what Mike says. I'm not the biggest msft fan but IAS on 2003
works great. You do however need to think abou the number of
authentication request per-second you may encounter. I think a bad A$$
server would do about 80 PEAP tunnels per second. Probably more than
you need. Don't forget
Man.. I struggle with this question all of the time. I work with vary
large (700+) voip networks often and, honestly, they all work great over
a b/g environment. Even when you have mixed B G. The issue comes
down to (among others!) how many non-Voip clients you may have in an
area vs Voip
Ranjit:
Great question. The advantages of IEEE 802.11a for Vo-Fi handsets include:
- higher throughput than 802.11b, which means the radio is transmitting for
shorter bursts of time
- generally less interference in that band (there are just less devices
using that band)
- less data devices, so
