Hi All This kind of has to do with a thread that has been ongoing, except we do not use Active Directory or Novell in our situation.
We're currently trying to do some testing with 802.1x username/password authentication. Basically a user connects to an SSID, and gets prompted for credentials via a dialog box, credentials are entered, compared against LDAP via Radius and then they get connected. This does work, but we're seeing some oddness between laptops. The main problem seems to be on laptops which use wireless vendor configuration utilities such as Dell or IBM ThinkVantage, etc.. In some of those, it seems like the user is not prompted for credentials quick enough. And once they are prompted, it either doesn't work, or they get prompted again, and eventually they will work and connect. I'm just wondering if anyone else ran into this or a similar type problem and if so, what did you do to correct it? Any info is greatly appreciated.
