I'm not sure what "firmware" you're looking for...
The Cisco 1200 AP won't provide RADIUS authentication over any protocol
except the Cisco-specific ones (they have a version of PEAP, a version of
TLS, LEAP, etc.) When I'm testing PEAP, I use Windows Server 2003 as the
RADIUS server. You program the access point to know about the server and
its shared secret, as Buji indicated. When the card tries to connect to the
AP, the AP will create a pass-thru connection between the RADIUS server and
the wireless client. The wireless client can't connect to anything but the
RADIUS server, but it will be able to get to that, and the server will ask
it for user name and password, using one or more of the protocols to encrypt
the data for security. If you give the right answers, the RADIUS server
will provide the AP with suitable information to allow the client to get to
the rest of the network, including an IP address usually.
You want to find some step-by-step guide for setting up WS2003 for RADIUS.
It's a complete pain in the ass. It took me three or four days of trial and
error to get all of the group policies, server settings, certificates, etc.
set up right.

Hello Paul,
Thank you for your reply.
I am using Connect Blue WLAN card and driver. It is supporting WPA2
security.But you are correct, it is not supporting LEAP authentication.
Could you please advice me, how can i get the authentication from RADIUS
server?
Is there any firmware available?
Thanks & Regards

The wireless radio driver on the Windows CE end determines whether you
can
actually support WPA2 or any of the other authentication or encryption
protocols. If you're using radio card X, for example, it might support
PEAP
and EAP-TLS, but, unless the card vendor has a license from Cisco, it
won't
support LEAP, because that's proprietary to Cisco. Summit Data
Communications cards support LEAP, for example. It also happens to
support
WPA2. Without knowing what radio you're using, I think we've gone about
as
far as we can.
At a guess, I'd say that your 1200 AP will only support being a LEAP
authentication server and, since your card and its driver on the CE end
don't support leap, you'll never be authenticated, so no connection.

Hello Josh Chang,
Thank you for your reply.
I am using Cisco Aironet 1240AG series access point. Here I have set
the
user name and password only. I did not aware of Domain Name
configuration
in
Access Point.
What does it meant?
As per the Cisco instruction manual, i have configued the access point
for
LEAP authentication mode with WPA2 encription. But in our desktop
(WinCE
5.0)
i could not able to select LEAP authentication with WPA2 security. It
is
supporting PEAP and TLS types only.
Have you any inputs for this...
Thanks

Hello all,
I am using WinCE5.0. I have updated the
WinCEPB50-061231-Product-Update-Rollup-Armv4I patch from microsoft
for
to
update the WPA2 security feature. I have to communicate to remote
wireless
client through Access Point with WPA2 security. I am using Cisco
Aironet
1240AG series access point. I have configured the access point with
WPA2
security and configured as local radius server for authentication.
Whenever i am trying to connect to Access point, WinCe asking
username
and
domain name. I do't know about it. Where i have to configure the
Username and
Domain name in WinCE?
Advise me!
