Does roaming implicate reauthentication?

[ruben.montes]

Hello,

I have installed a wlan infrastructure with Cisco AP 1200 and Orinoco client adapters. We have one ACS that uses LEAP to authenticate the clients. In the case that the ACS loses connectivity with the network, the clients can still work normally unless they need to reauthenticate with the ACS?

In what cases a client that has gained access to the network (LEAP authentication with the ACS) is forced to reauthenticate? In what cases must he contact to the ACS?

Best regards,

Ruben

You have to configure a session timeout in which case a reauthentication is forced in the background after the time interval you configure. Not sure whether it will never reauthenticate if you do not configure a session timeout.
