Hello, I have a RADIUS server running with an Access Point as a NAS. The
set-up works fine with windows XP supplicants, but my Windows 2003 server
has some difficulty.
The XP machine is configured to use PEAP/MSCHAP 2, and the WEP key is to be
provided automatically from the Access Point. I type in the radius
username/password and the Access Point forwards the packets. On a second XP
machine, a similar setup works fine, only if I am to enter the WEP key
manually. The remainder of the authentication with PEAP is done by sending
the username and password.
Using the same config on Windows 2003, I run into some problems: Even if i
select to use WEP encryption and 802.1x, it will only allow me to select
802.1x if the WEP key is handed to me by the Access Point. Even then, as I
log into the system, it just infinitely cycles between Connected and
Attempting to Authenticate. The RADIUS server starts getting flooded with
re-authentication attempts.
Since the radius server used a self signed certificate, i remembered to
un-check "valdiate certificate." I had to do this with the XP machines, but
still i have no luck on the 2003 machine. Also, despite my efforts to
select manual WEP key and 802.1x, it automatically resorts to
WPA+TKIP+802.1x - Every time.
Does anyone know how to overcome this? Its driving me mad!
Also to note, the access point i am using is a Dlink, and it is no longer
sold or supported - in fact, i think there were many problems with this
product.
