I think most of our problem now lies w= ith webauth. I just upgraded our 4402 on 5.x to a 5508 on 7.x, which was a disaster. Ou= r student login data lives in a server that services all the state communit= y colleges, and only ldap(s) is available at the moment. Since we don't ha= ve a student pki and don't want to install shims on the clients, that leave= s us with webauth for 90+% of our clients. All the EAP stuff worked great = after the upgrade, but very few webauth clients had much luck. We back-rev= 'd to 6.0.19?.0 and improved from disaster to moderately painful. I talked= to Lee about it, and he recommended using a Bluesocket box to do the webau= th function. Depending how the end of year budget goes, we may do that. We're tiny compared to most folks on this list--1 WLC and ~50 AP's. It wou= ld have been nice to have everything on just one box, but I'm willing to gi= ve that up to keep my blood pressure under control ;) so webauth may move t= o its own non-Cisco box. Webauth has been painful at some level as long as= we've been using it. The state folks are changing their auth system soon, and we'll have RADIUS = available. Over the summer we hope to move to RADIUS with PEAP for student= s, and a small webauth ssid for cloudpath and students who can't/won't get = encryption to work. =20 One gotcha with new 7.x installs--dhcp proxy is turned on by default, and h= as a bug that kills dhcp for an interface with a local dhcp server if proxy= is on. Lost a few hours of sleep over that one...
