Hello all...
I didn't think the following suitable
for the 'WIRELESS-ADMIN' list for obvious reasons!
Pre Windows XP SP3 where Microsoft have opted to 'hide'
802.1x on wired interfaces (until the relevant service is started)
I vaguely thought end-user configuration of 802.1x for wired interfaces
was slightly easier than the wireless equivalent.
Now we've progressed to a certain point with a rollout
of 802.1x wireless we're pondering whether to go the whole hog
and go for 802.1x wired in our Halls for the next academic year as well.
Can anyone here comment on whether they opted for 802.1x (and as a result
but not necessarily 'eduroam') everywhere for itinerant users
or that you're still maintaining seperate systems and why?
Looking at websites for a few institutions I can see places where
web-based 'registration' systems are still in place, for example.
Thanks in advance - and apologies if I should really
join and ask this on a more ResNet-type list.
