I've already posted a thread about this before, but I'm attempting to set up a WPA-Enterprise WLAN at work for added security goodness. Unfortunately it's being, to say the least, uncooperative. I'm doing everything off of our existing Server 2000 machine since that (at first anyway) seemed to be the easiest option. After enabling the Certification Authority, Internet Authentication Service, creating a Remote Access Client and Remote Access Policy for the appropriate APs and configuring windows groups I've gotten as far as getting the server to the point where IAS sends me only one repeated error message, rather than 3 or 4 cycling ones. The error message (in Event Viewer) is error code 16: "There was an authentication failure because of an unknown user name or a bad password." The odd thing is that I know for certain that the user name and password are sent okay. I think it may have something to do with validating the computer's "user name" rather than the logged-in user, but I don't know how to check that. I know it isn't an issue of hardware because this problem appears regardless of the model of wireless AP I hook up. Regardless, it's a head-scratcher. Does anybody (and I have a feeling that by "anybody" I mean JackMDS) know what might be causing this problem?
