Re: Authenticate Mac OS X computers with with Windows 802.1x PEAP enabled WLAN

Thanks for the tip, but after scanning through the site I don't find any interesting articles etc about for example connecting Mac OS X computers to windows based WLAN solution (with IAS/RADIUS) and automation with AD and GPO. If you have found any article that may be handy please post.

Hi,

We have implemented a Wireless solution at one of our customers that is
built on, "Securing Wireless LANs with PEAP and Passwords"
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/guidance/cryptographyetc/peap_0.msp
x).

This solution is working really all fine at the moment when we use Microsoft
Windows enabled devices. But since the customer also have a mixed network
environment containing most of the part of Mac OS X computers and these
authenticates to the AD (User Authentication Module (UAM)) when working with
smb shares, we also want them to connect to our Wireless LAN that we have
built upon the Windows 2003 server platform. How can we add the Mac OS users
to be able to authenticate their Wi-Fi enabled computers through our secured
WLAN and IAS/Radius authentication?

Should we perhaps export/import the used certificates to these devices and
then configure their Wi-Fi devices for radius authentication?

Any recommendations of user guidelines etc when it comes to this kind of
mixed environment mac/Windows is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Richard
