Need to move away from LEAP - What are the options

frank.vassios · ‎02-10-2009

We currently leverage Cisco AP1200's in our infrastructure and LEAP. We also use ACS to check users to ensure they are in our authorized wireless group. Vista does not support LEAP and we therefore need to move to something else from an encryption perspective. What would be a solid recomendation understanding our current deployment of ACS, AD and AP's.

Are you autonomous or LWAPP?

I propose to use PEAP with MS-CHAPv2 as the inner method. With that you may authenticate using your Windows Username and password. You have to put a server certificate on the ACS server. Be sure, that your clients validate that certificate - they need the CA cert in the store to do so. If you don't have a CA, then let ACS generate a Self-Signed cert. With that option it's hard to implement server cert validation.

Long speed - just search for PEAP on Cisco and you'll find a few deployment and howto guides.
