Fixing Vista Problems With WPA Enterprise 802.1X Authentication via FreeRADIUS
Posted by Tres Mon, 26 Mar 2007 04:51:00 GMT
So if you’ve got users upgrading to Vista who are having troubles logging on to your 802.11 network with WPA Enterprise, this one is for you.
Chances are you’re using EAP-TTLS and MSCHAP2 as the inner authentication protocol; if so, try upgrading FreeRADIUS to version 1.1.4 or later.
The problem is that Vista rejects empty fragments being sent by OpenSSL. (OpenSSL sends the empty fragment for security.) The empty fragments, which are sent to ensure randomization of the initialization vector, confuse Vista’s PEAP supplicant.
The irony is, of course, that Windows XP handles the empty fragments. So Microsoft’s “Most Secure OS ever” is actually making WPA Enterprise authentication less secure through their latest implementation.
