A bit new to this so need some help
I have been asked to do some innovation around an existing operational wireless solution.
Setup is;
1. Wireless client - running Juniper Odyssey client. This authenticates user on logon to Windows using username / SecurID token / pin. Configuration via WAP / TKIP
2. Cisco Aironet Wireless Access Point
3. Cisco 4402 Wireless LAN controller
4. Cisco ACS v4.1 - configured as RADIUS server with connection to external RSA Authentication Manager 6.1
As part of a transformation programme I have been asked to investigate whether this existing wireless infrsatructure will work with Windows 7 as the client operating system. Also to look whether the wireless functions in Windows 7 will allow the Odyssey client to be removed.
I am unsure what client if any I need to install on the Windows 7 client in order to try and get this working. Do I need the VPN client from Cisco, the RSA EAP client or will Win 7 allow me to do this.
Any help appreciated.

Really depends on what EAP type you're going to be using. the native client in Win7 should support, PEAP, EAP-TLS and EAP-Fast, stay away from LEAP. ACS 4.1 should support all of these types, and be able to make the call to the RSA for client validation.

Thanks for the prompt reply
So what you are saying is that if I find out the EAP type used in the existing solution I should be able to configure in Windows 7 without the need for any form of VPN client?

you are correct sir!
Now, if you want to run a third party supplicant you can. You should also be able to create the profile via GPO and push it to the clients, for Win 7 and for most third parties as well.

Great thanks
I presume that by a third party supplement you mean something like the Cisco VPN client
Do you have any config info for doing this in Win 7?

I am still struggling with this concept of suplicants
I have tried to set this up with the wireless capabilities in Windows 7 to no avail. I see that Windows 7 only supports certin EAP types - how can I find out what my EAP type is on the ACS server?
