10.5.3 802.1x Wireless Config Export

Good morning. I am new to the Mac and with a lot of googling and Apple Discussion reading I am getting a handle on the Macbook our school has gotten.
We will authenticating these against Active Directory which is working and now I am on to the wireless. Anyway I found a document " Mac OS x 10.4.6 or Later: Joining an 802.1x network at Mac OS x login"
I think this is what I need. I need to have the user authenticate at login so the drive mappings will work when the machine boots up. Currently it doesn't do the wireless attachment till last.
In the document it has the option "Export 802.1x Configuration to Login Window" and I am unable to find where to do that at. We have 10.5.3 and I varies from the document.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Charlie

Howdy,
Hopefully you've worked a way around this by now. I have a similar problem with a client and its stumping us. I believe the equivalent in 10.5 is in the 802.1X profiles under the "Advanced" button then under the "802.1X" button in the network preferences. Specifically I think the System profile is supposed to do this but I could be wrong. There is no documentation that I've found so far.

  • After 10.6.8 upgrade, MacBook PRO doesn't acquire IP address via 802.11n wireless connection

    After upgrading a MacBook Pro to 10.6.8, the machine connects to an 802.11n wireless access point, but will not acquire an IP address using DHCP.  An iMac running 10.6.7, and an iPad2 both successfully connect and acquire DHCP IP addresses to the same access point.  The access point is an HP Procurve MSM422 access point, a commercial data center level access point.
    The MacBook Pro did acquire a connection and IP address when running 10.6.7, so this seems to be a regression introduced with the upgrade to 10.6.8.
    The MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 will acquire an 802.11g connection to the same access point without any problems.  The access point has different SSIDs for 802.11n and 802.11g.
    Changing the IP settings on the MacBook Pro from DHCP to a fixed IP address doesn't solve the problem.
    Just wanted to document this situation for those following problems with migration to 10.6.8.
    If anyone uncovers the reason and has a work around for this situation, please share.  I'll keep looking, too.  I plan to do a combo install of 10.6.8 later today to see if this remedies the situation.

    Deleting and recreating the AirPort connection doesn't help this problem.  Neither does turning the AirPort on/then off, going from DHCP to FIXED IP addresses, or repairing permissions.  I even upgraded the firmware in the HP MSM422 access point from 5.4.29 to 5.5.1 and that didn't make any difference, either. 
    Using the combo installer to reinstall 10.6.8 did fix the problem. 

  • Access Connections does not accept Windows Wireless Config

    Hi All,
    We are rolling out RADIUS/802.1x wireless lan in our enterprise. The wireless settings are deplyed via AD grouo policy - no problems there.
    I have an issue when i configure my access connections (ver 5.21) on my T61 machine. I configure AC to use Windows wireless security settings whcih are picked up correctly. The issues occur when i switch from this profile to another profile for exampls and vice versa. AC seems to think that i need to configure my wlan security settings each time i switch to that profile and wont connect. I get an error message:
    The SSID 'WM2009' selected for this profile must be configured in windows. Click OK to configure the wireless settings in Windows'.
    I know that the wireless settings are fine, as i can connect with the window wireless client fine - its just AC that has the issue.
    Any ideas appreciated!

    Domain policy wireless profiles are not compatible with Access Connections.
    The problem stems that Domain profiles are stored in a different part of the registry than a locally created WZC profile.  Since these are part of the domain policy, they cannot be altered locally.  Microsoft wouldn't provide Lenovothe encryption used (for obvious security reasons), so the domain policy based profiles can't be manipulated by Access Connections.
    But we do provide an ADM template that can be used to do much the same things.

  • 802.1x Wireless Authentication

    Hello
    I am using a MS Certificate Server and MS Radius server with 802.1x Wireless Authentication. When the macs Authenticate I get a warning so to speak and the Cert will not save or trust. I have enter it in as a 509 anchor and other and still the same thing. Is anyone out there doing this.
    The windows says
    801x Authentication
    The Server Certificate could not be validated becuase the root certificate is missing.
    Thanks

    No, CA wasn't changed with R2.
    Are you able to see the User's certificate in the Keychain app under the login keychain & My Certificates? Can you see the CA's certificate under the X509Anchors?
    In the login keychain, when looking at the Users certificate, does it show as valid?

  • 1552 in P-MP acting as 802.11a Wireless Bridge with single antenna SISO

    Can you configure three Cisco 1552EUs to act as a RAP and two MAPs in a bridge only Point to Multipoint configuration. 
    I'd like to disable two of the 5Ghz antenna ports and use just a single TX/RX port and a single directional antenna for each AP.
    Does this simply reduce the system gain because you lose the MRC MIMO advantage / gain of either 1.7 or 4.7db (depending on qty of spatial streams).
    Also, are the 1552EU's backward compatible with the Cisco 1310's in the configuration mentioned above.
    Thanks for any comments.

    The transfer speeds sound about right. The "54Mbps" is a signaling rate, not a throughput.
    To make 802.11 wireless "reliable"  (comparable to a wired network)  the data is, in effect, sent twice and staggered such that a glitch usually doesn't get both.
    In terms of throughput of your data, a strong signal with good signal quality, using IP, unencrypted  should run ~22-26Mbps (some variability for noise/interference, mixed frame sizes, TCP ACK times, application responses, etc). 
    So, at ~24 Mbps (megabits per second) you're looking at ~4  megabytes per second versus 100Mbps/12.5mBps as a probable max rate.
    Given that, a transfer that takes approximately one minute on a wired network under typical conditions ... having it take four-to-five minutes on a typical wireless system is about right.
    For power settings, you can adjust the power by monitoring the RSSI values on the receiving system. If I can find the docs on Cisco's main site I'll post 'em up later (gotta run ...), but if the mechanical install is good, then it'll just be a little keyboard work.
    Good Luck

  • Cisco ap3700 802.11ac wireless brigde

    Can i use the 3702e with ios software and a directional antenne as an 802.11ac wireless bridge for inter-building connectivity ? What is the expected speed of a wireless bridge link with a typical inter-building distance of 40 to 60 m ?

    Product information has not yet released to say this AP model can use as wireless bridge. Typically 3700 AP is not target for wireless bridge solution. Here is the datasheet available for this product.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps5678/ps13367/data_sheet_c78-729421.html
    You have to do a test & confirm data rates & performance you get in your environment.

  • Can I use an airport express to extend a Cisco E4200 802.11n or 802.11g wireless network?

    Can I use an Airport Express to extend a Cisco E4200 802.11n or 802.11g wireless network?  I'd like to improve access in a dead spot with an airport express. I know I can connect this wayt for airplay, but how about extending the signal?
    Thx! ACB

    Apple's "extend a wireless network" function appears to be a proprietary feature that works only with other Apple AirPort routers. As far as we know, this feature is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.
    It would be extremely unlikely that the Express could do what you want, but some things are never known until  you try.

  • Speed Tests Results for 802.11ac Wireless Connections

    Using the new Apple MacBook Air with 802.11ac wireless, I tested copying a file and a folder to both the new 802.11ac AirPort Extreme router housing a USB-connected hard disk and the less recent 802.11n Apple AirPort Extreme router housing a similar USB-connected hard disk.
    The results of the tests are summarized in the table below. The movie file was ripped from a DVD movie, and the Microsoft folder is simply the Microsoft Office 2011 folder in my Applications folder containing 14,231 items.
    The MacBook Air computer was located 6–8 feet away from each router with no intervening obstructions. While this was not a scientific test, it demonstrated to me that 802.11ac wireless is clearly superior to 802.11n in a real world setting. I assume that the lower relative performance of 802.11ac versus 802.11n for the large folder containing many files is due to overhead in copying and writing files from and to the hard disks. Ditto for the Gigabit Ethernet test.

    Great resource for speedtesting: www.speedtest.net
    Will show you ping speed, upload/download speeds for your connection. Try for each then post results.

  • Is there any 802.11n wireless bridge or some bridge throughput close to 100M?

    Hi All,
    I'm looking for some enterprise wireless bridge. Is there any cisco 802.11n wireless bridge on the market? or some bridge close to 100Mbps throughput? Thanks.
    Lou

    Hi;
    I'm investigating the exact same thing. After seeing the caveat in the 1250 install guide that said "Don't use it as a bridge!"  (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/1250/installation/guide/125h_c1.html) , I called the Cisco WiFi sales engineer assigned to our region, the brilliant and lovely Ms. K.
    She clarified some items for me.
    802.11n relies on several things for increased speed, two of which are multiple spacial data streams (currently two) and the 40MHz increased channel width. When you do point-point, apparently there is just not as much multipoint benefit. She said we would be lucky to see more than 50 Mbps real throughput on a bridge using 1252s at 100m range. BTW, she said that even though the install guide says the 1252s could not be used in bridge mode, she thought it would work; perhaps the 2007 guide is outdated.
    So, we are going to get some antennas and test this. Will try to report back on the results.
    Regarding Exalt, she did confirm that at present Cisco is re-branding and selling them as OEM and support would be direct through Exalt, not TAC. She would not speculate on looming acqusitions, but did jokingly observe that in the past, all the companies that Cisco absorbed went through an OEM re-sell phase ;p

  • Netgear WG311v3 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter

    I have a G5 Tower with PCI slots.
    Is there a way to make this wireless card recognized as an AirPort card under OS 10.5.8?
    Currently, it does not even show up System Profiler.

    Just google "Netgear WG311v3 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter". Apparently it supports Windows OS's. You can also inquire from the manufacturer.

  • Can't connect 802.1x wireless network

    I upgraded my MacBook to Leopard, and I can't connect to the 802.1x wireless network in our campus any more (It requires PEAP). I used to log on quickly and the speed was amazing compared to my Windows Laptop. But now, every time I try to connect to the network, the Leopard does not pop any window for user name and pwd any more. I tried all kinds of configuration in the "802.1x" bar in "Network Preference/AirPort/Advanced" option, and it did not work. And even worse, when I added the network into my "Preferred" and made configuration in "802.1x" option, and tried to select the preferred "Network Name", every time I did this, Leopard would freeze and crash.... What a nightmare!!
    I wonder if anybody else has the same problem with mine. I am driven crazy after two days trial.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • Can't connect to 802.1x wireless network after upgrading

    I have a year-old iPod Touch that I recently upgraded to iOS 6. I have no problems connecting to my home network, but since upgrading, I haven't been able to connect to the 802.1x wireless network at my job. When I try to connect, I get a spinning circle, but no actual connection. If I do nothing, it never times out, just keeps spinning.
    I've tried resetting the network settings. I am able to login and accept the certificate, but I never get an IP address. I have access to the logs, so I checked and I'm authenticating successfully. I had no problems whatsoever prior to upgrading to 6.01, and I have no trouble accessing the network with other devices, including my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

  • Deskjet 460 802.11g wireless setup on Win7

    {Personal Information Removed}
    There has to be someone in HP who can explain clearly how to set up a Deskjet 460 with 802.11g card in "infrastructure" mode on a router, using Win7. Surely!
    The 460 was not fully supported on Win7, but Win7 has a driver which works with a USB cable. The challenge is how you get an infrastructure network profile into the 802.11g card when the tools on the Starter CD are XP-only - actually, even if they were to work on Win7, they have disappeared from the HP website, so you cannot download them.
    Looking at a previous thread (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Issues-with-DeskJet-460-WiFi-and-Windo...), lots of folks are as frustrated as I am, but nobody has so far answered the key question.
    Before dumping XP I created a network profile on a USB stick, using the Starter CD - this was an xml file in a folder named SMRTNTKY. It was supposed to allow me to replicate the settings on other printers (or on mine if I lost the settings). Now, it is not recognised by the printer, but I have no idea why. I have cleared the profile, inserted the USB stick, powered off and on, with no change - the printout still shows the network profile as ad hoc / hpsetup.
    I and others need a clearly documented process for creating an infrastructure network profile and for getting it into the printer, so we can use the device with Win7. If this needs software, we need that software to be available for download from the HP website, ideally via links from the reply (since the website is a bit of a mess to navigate. Please help.

    Hi,
    Assuming you have WiFi connectivity on your laptop, try setting a temporary ad hoc connection and then use the EWS to connect the printer to your router as a workaround, such a software is not available for Windows 7:
    Follow these steps to install the product on the network with the Windows 7 printer driver.
    Turn the product on.
    Insert the wireless printer card into the printer.
    Reset the wireless network settings on the product:
    Reset all of the 802.11 wireless profiles: Press and hold the Power button ( ), press the Cancel ( ) button two times, and then press the Resume button ( ) eight times. Release all buttons.
    Click the Wireless icon on your system traym then connect to the HPSETUP netowrk.
    Wait two minutes for the printer to obtain an IP Address, and then print a wireless configuration page:
    Make sure the product is on and idle.
    Press and hold the Cancel button ( ) for more than two seconds. A wireless configuration page prints.
    Locate the IP address / URL printed on this page, type it into your web browser to access its EWS page.
    Open the Network / Wireless tab, click the Wireless option or the Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the steps  to connect the pritner to your router.
    Press and hold the Cancel button ( ) for more than two seconds. A wireless configuration page prints. note the listed IP.
    Right click the USB printer icon within Devices and printers, select Printer Properties. Within the Ports tab create a new Standard TCP/IP port and type the listed IP for this port.
    Hope that help, I cannot guide you further within the EWS as I do not have the exact device but you should locate it within the networking area of the EWS
