We currently use CCA for resnet and Bluesocket for all wireless. CCA is new this past Fall and Bluesocket has been here a couple years. We currently only use Bluesocket for authentication (no encryption). We are looking into moving all wireless to CCA also. Fac/Staff will have windows AD pass-through so should be seamless and students will login just like if they were wired in the reshall (at least that is the current direction we are working toward). For Fac/staff using a non-campus owned computer, they will probably have to login just like a student.
Students are currently only allowed 80 and 443 on the wireless because of concern for application performance and encryption issues. This will probably stay for the time being. I feel that encryption for Fac/staff is a different issue than wireless. It is more general security. I prefer to treat campus owned machines on the wireless as "semi-trusted" hosts. With that we will probably go the route of using our remote access solution as their conduit into the network when using the wireless. So the short answer is we will probably not require authentication for "wireless" we WILL require authentication to go ANYWHERE. _________________________ Thank you, Gregory R.

We are looking at implementing Bradford Campus Manager and at the same time considering Aruba... speaking of encryption. So my question is two fold... Do those of you that are using a solution like Aruba's or Bluesocket's have a Campus Manager, Clean Access solution or SafeConnect solution? If so, is there really a point in requiring authentication for wireless?
