WLSM and wireless user authentication.

kyle.omalley · ‎10-12-2004

I'm attempting to put together a solution to wireless security which does NOT include any kind of client configuration or installed supplicant. I want the wifi network to be wide open, no wep. When users attempt to get on the network they are directed to a ssl encrypted web interface to enter credentials checked against a radius server. I've been told the new WLSM for the 6500 along with 12.2.15+ code on the WAP's might have this feature. Can anyone confirm this? I've heard about this in the past, as something that cisco is working on, but didn't think anything had come to fruition yet..

Thanks,

-Kyle

Sounds like you should check out BBSM (Building Broadband Service Manager). Would probably be a lot cheaper.

Responding to my own post..

The solution I was fishing for is a combonation of IP Mobility enabled WAP's with the SLSM in a central location then routing them to a SESM enabled gateway.
