I could use some help understanding the password storage situation as it
relates to LDAP, radius, and 802.1x. Currently we store hashes of
passwords in an LDAP database that is used for user authentication. I
would like to implement WPA on our wireless network but in my reading
all the explanations I have come across state that you have to store
user passwords in clear text rather then hash form.
Is it possible to implement 802.1x without storing passwords in clear
text? Will future standards have this ability or are we stuck storing
passwords in clear text?
Any replies would be appreciated.
Thanks,
