Mike, We are considering purchasing AutoConnect for our needs here at Wofford. We've heard/seen really good reviews from other schools and have had a lot of success with our testing of the product on all 3 platforms. Would you be willing to elaborate on the issues that you have seen with OS 10.4? Would you also be willing to share specifics of how your wireless network is configured (type of APs, type of encryption, type of RADIUS servers and what supplicant(s) you are using)?
Your input is greatly appreciated. J. Bart Casey Network Engineer Wofford College From: Schomer, Michael J. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 10:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Automating wireless configuration on clients We are using AutoConnect from idEngines. We deploy it though an open SSID and captive portal, but you can deploy it as a standalone executable if you prefer. Using the captive portal, AutoConnect uses Java or ActiveX to configure wireless settings, so there aren't many browsers it won't work with. It works well with XP and Vista. The current release is supposed to support OS X 10.4, but in my limited testing, it didn't seem to work quite right; not sure what the plans are for 10.5. -Mike Schomer -ResNet Coordinator -St. Cloud State University From: Nathan Hay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 8:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Automating wireless configuration on clients We are researching ways to automate the creation of our SSID on a student's laptop via a script of some kind. Our technicians would pop in a flash drive, run the script from it, and the SSID with the needed 802.1X settings would be created. This would also serve as a way to "refresh" the configuration if the student configured the SSID incorrectly. We need to support XP, Vista, and Mac OS X. Has anyone done this before? Any suggestions on where to start? Nathan Nathan P.
