At Rutgers we have used SecureW2's MS Windows supplicant for years. In the past we used it in conjunction with Cloudpath XpressConnect, which many schools did. The major problem arose when Apple discontinued default support for Java, which XpressConnect was programmed in. We had also been struggling to afford the cost of the product, which I understand became somewhat more affordable after we discontinued our contract. We rolled our own solution for a year and then were thrilled to find out SecureW2 were working on their own solution. We have been using it now for about six months and have been very happy with its features and flexibility. I have also found the product far more affordable than Cloudpath without the loss of function or support. We are also Cisco WLC shop but as was previously mentioned there is not considerable difference here among wireless vendors.
Thanks you.
