(RADIATOR) Authenticating MAC Addresses

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Steve -

You will first of all need to configure the access point(s) to do MAC 
address authentication via RADIUS, then have a look at a trace 4 debug 
from Radiator to verify exactly what is contained in the radius 
requests you receive. Once you have a clear idea of what is being 
received, then we can come up with a solution.

Unfortunately all access points are different and there is no "one size 
fits all".

If you set up a simple configuration file based on 
"goodies/eap_md5.cfg" you can then see the trace 4 debug from there.

Would anyone else on the list care to add their experiences?

regards

Hugh
