Enterprise wireless client solutions...

[jlazzaro]

Those of you who have implemented secure enterprise wireless solutions (peap/ttls/tls), what are you using for the client side authentication?

I've been checking out the Juniper Odyssey client...i think 3eTI and MeetingHouse also offer solutions.

Check Cisco's page for CCX certified, that means the vendor provided utility (free with every card) would support EAP/LEAP/EAP-Fast/TLS, etc

We just use the vendor provided utility (typically intel pro set). Intel pro set is, imho, the most "admin friendly" utility, as you can build admin profiles, that users can't touch, you can create a .exe update with all those admin/non admin profiles and push those out to a single folder and have them automaticaly imported by the proset utility.

As an FYI, most of the vendors (iirc) license the meetinghouse client (still a few funk based ones) to integrate into theirs.

ive had a couple users with built-in intel cards using the pro set software...i do agree its nicer than most.

the main problem is that there is at least 6+ different vendor cards out in the field. it would prove impossible (unless it was my full-time job) to administer each one effectively if they all used the provided software. hence my need for something standardized.

i have tried something all users have in common - WZC. but with no importable profiles, permissions, or really any administrative control, it would prove even more of a headache.

We just use the built in client for thousands of computers. Prefer the Intel.

Ditto, as you stated above (and I agree) ProSET/Wireless is the fantastic.
