Client Configuration

Why doesn’t PEAP or EAP-TLS work on a Windows machine?

The most common problem with PEAP is that the client sends a series of Access-Request messages, the server sends an series of Access-Challenge responses, and then nothing happens. After a little wait, the process starts again.

If you see this happening, stop!

The RADIUS server certificate has to have special OIDs in it, otherwise the Microsoft clients will silently fail. See the raddb/certs/xpextensions file in the server configuration for examples, as well as the Microsoft KB814394 article.

You must follow the requirements in the Microsoft article for for PEAP or EAP-TLS to work with a Windows machine.
