Emily, Your basic problem is that you need a RADIUS server that can speak to the directory you have.
I'm sure commercial solutions can play here, but I'd imagine that FreeRADIUS (http://www.freeradius.org) can authenticate your users against your existing Linux user file. (This is what it sounds like you are doing) Once you have a RADIUS server that can access your user database, it's a simple step to implement 802.1x User retraining however is a considerable issue.

I am curious if anyone has (successfully) implemented WPA/802.1x with authentication via RADIUS to something OTHER than Active Directory or LDAP. We unfortunately are somewhat behind in our method of campus-wide user management - LDAP is coming in 2008 but for now we have to make do with authenticating against Linux servers. Last year we used static WEP with Webauth, using a RADIUS script for user/password verification. That means two configurations and way too much user training, so we wanted to do something a little less cumbersome this year. FYI we're using Meru MC3000 and AP208s. Any replies would be appreciated - thank you! -- Emily Harris, BC '95 Associate Director, Network & Systems Barnard College, MINS Department 3009 Broadway, New York, NY 212-854-8795 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
