Has anyone gotten this combination to work? In the past I've used radius
for my dial-up modem pool with both in house hardware and wholesale
national providers. Fired up my old server for the first time in maybe 12 years thinking I would try the radius feature on my wireless access point
and use it to control authentication for the kids tablets. So far I'm
seeing errors that it isn't receiving the password on the wcRADIUS screen. Anyone have any thoughts? Does anyone still use radius?
Hi Brian,
Geez, this stuff always just worked and the support needs were always
low. We don't get any feedback on this much more, so whether they are
using it or not, its good to see there is still "interest." We need
to find out what to do with it.
Authentication for the kids tablets? Interesting. Asking in the
winserver support mailing list may come back with something.
Although RADIUS is a complex protocol, with wcRADIUS, it is too easy
to setup. :)
First, of course, the first step is to get client (the RADIUS setup on tablets) secret passwords match is set.
Is this the password? The client (device) or is it beyond that with an
wcUSER (wildcat user) authentication?
Set a higher verbose debug to see if there is anything there.
Other than that, off the top of my head, make sure that the router
RADIUS setup supports one of the basic authentication methods. I don't
recall the typical client options generally offered but I recall its
plain vs (MS) CHAP.
Let me know how that works out. I am very interested to see how
WINSERVER with its RADIUS support among other standard IETF protocols
can benefit with this new smart device everywhere world. :)
