At Northwestern University we are looking to move away from using VPN for Authentication and Encryption for our wireless users. We do not want to have to use 3rd party supplicants because of end user support issues. We are currently using Funk Steel Belted Radius and have tested using 802.1X with PEAP on Windows and MAC so far in small numbers with success.

TTLS does not have a built in supplicant for Windows XP and TLS requires a per client certificate so these are not good options. This leaves PEAP or using an appliance of some sort to provide an IPSEC tunnel or a Secure desktop SSL connection.




So my questions are

1. Am I missing other options?

2.  Is PEAP a good solution - is it secure, client issues?


thanks

Chris
