Bruce,

I've successfully built a wireless profile for Apple TVs using 802.1X 
(WPA2/AES)  and PEAP/MSChapv2 in my lab. It worked fine until I removed the 
power of the Apple TV. Once power is removed, the Apple TV loses its time and 
can no longer validate certificates. You must then connect the Apple TV to an 
open or PSK network to get the time corrected before another successful 802.1X 
connection.

Because of this, we will not connect the Apple TV to our dot1X wireless 
network. We connect them via  guest/open WLAN and move them to another L3 
network on the back end.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Apple TV/Apple Configurator

I am currently attempting to use the Apple configurator to build a wireless 
profile to be loaded to an Apple TV which will then make an authenticated 
connection to our wireless network.  We are currently using our ClearPass 
server to authenticate this connection.   I have utilized many different 
combinations of WPA/WPA2 authentication options along with different 
combinations of trusted certificates.  These included the certificate from the 
authentication server(ClearPass) along with the associated root and 
intermediate certs.  However the connection still fails with the following 
error message,  Radius EAP: Client doesn't support configured EAP methods.  I 
was looking to see if anyone has been successful using the Apple configurator 
to build such a profile which contains the SSID, username, password, security 
type and certificates then pushing it to the Apple TV so it can connect to the 
wireless network.

Thank you
