connect to IEEE 802.1x . What I have to do?


Hello,

we are going to migrate our Linux with Novell authentication to an Active Directory authentication, and this part is Ok using 'Vintela'.

Now we are going to set a Corporate wireless and we would like the linux authenticated againt de AD to go directly to that wireless, bypassing the authenticator, obviously the login and password is the same.

What I have found is this configuration ( from ubuntu forum, but it does not work for me, whats wrong here?

**I recommend backing up all config files before editing them and take no responsibility for any damage this may cause**

Ok, that said let's get started, first make sure you have the wpa_supplicant installed.
Code:
sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant
Now create the wpa_supplicant configuration file
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
then paste the following, edit as needed and save.
Code:
# for lehigh university
network={
        ssid="lu"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
        eap=PEAP
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
        identity="your university login name"
        password="your password"
}
Now edit /etc/network/interfaces with
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
adding
Code:
wpa-driver wext
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
under your wireless interface.

Restart networking
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
and enjoy!

Hope this helps somebody :biggrin:

*Adapted from linux and wireless for lehigh university

As I said, it does not work for me, my eth1 after this is not associated.


many thanks
