Radius + wireless access



Hi All,

I've got a couple of wireless AP around the office, and would like to mange the laptop with wireless cards using Radius for authentication. all of my AP have the ability to talk to a Radius server. I have got my radius server up and working using some simple test accounts, I've done some looking around everything seems to point to EAP. I might be wrong, but I thought EAP requires cert to be issued to the client machines. I want a simple authentication system, so that office workers can gain access anywhere in the building but also so that trusted clients can gain access too with out having to had out certs(just give them a username password)

Am I thinking about this the wrong way? is it possible to just wirelessly authenticate users based on a username and password like you can with dialup users?

Any comments / suggestions / solutions greatly appreciated

Gabe
