Hi,

I've read about using IAS to authenticate wireless users against AD but
I can't find any detailed instructions on actually how to set everything up.
I read about needing a CA and using certificates however is that really
necessary? I was told that there is a way to create user accounts named
after the MAC address of the wireless card. Does anyone know how to do this?
Do I have to also distribute certificates to laptops? I could really use
some help. A big thanks to anyone that can help me with this.

I know you can setup cisco AP's to authenticate to RADIUS...I'm betting (but
I haven't looked into it) that you can setup IAS as a radius server that
authenticates to AD.
