Along with the others cloudpath is not a captive portal, we haven't
purchased Cloudpath at this point but are currently going through a
trial with them. If you are at all interested it is definitely worth
getting in contact with them, they are very helpful and will provide a
trial period for their product.
So far we have found it works really well on Windows and Mac OS
We have had a few issues with Ubuntu and Andriod, but that seems
certificate based and their tech has been extremely helpful in helping
resolve the problem. It seems we almost have it done.
Apple IOS is really quite easy to config, so we aren't fully convinced
on it's use for personal devices. However in a shared environment like
what your talking about I can see how it could be very helpful with a
bit of design and testing.

After reading the cloudpath pdf datasheet ... Is this not just like a captive
portal? We use a captive portal on our Aruba wireless, and it seems to work in
a similar way.

Not in this specific example, but we do use cloudpath.net xpressconnect to
configure iPads and it works well. perhaps the solution is as simple as
teaching the students how to clear their credentials at the end of class?

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] iPads, Labs/classroom use, 802.1x
Does anyone have experience managing iPads for classrooms (where an iPad is
given to each user and returned at the end of the course, only for the next
class to pick them up)? I'm interested in how to manage credentials in an
802.1x environment (to ensure actions on the network are attributable to the
user at that time). If someone has resolved this, I'd like to speak with
them, we have instructors working on proposals.
