Trouble with EAP-TLS with Wireless before Windows logon

Ill start with a list of equipment;
5508 WLC
3502i AP's
Cisco ACS 5.3
Windows 7 clients
WLAN is configure with WPA2/AES with 802.1x for key management.
Client is configure with WPA2/AES, auth method is Microsoft: Smart Card or other certificate on computer. Auth mode is User or Computer authentication. The client is configured to use a certificate on the computer. "It only works if user or computer auth is seected." If i use Computer Authenticate option......its says it cant find a certificate to use for EAP.
ACS is configured to only allow for protocol EAP-TLS.
We have created a standalone CA server and have distributed the CA root and client authentication certificates to all test systems.
This whole process with EAP-TLS works great if you are already logged in to the machine, with cache credentials. Once I log off the Windows 7 client, I lose connection to the WLAN. We would like to stay logged on to the WLAN. PEAP w/ MSCHAPV2 works great with staying connected to the WLAN but we want to use EAP-TLS.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advanced,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
You actually answer your own question :) The reason for the fault is because the Machine Account doesn't have a Certificate, so when your User logs off the Machine Account can't login to keep the session going, and thus you get disconnected. Provide the Machine Account with a Certificate and your problem will be resolved.

Having trouble with pop-up windows and ads for MacKeeper

I've been having trouble with pop-up windows and ads for MacKeeper and similar "services." Tried to download "MPlayerX" a week ago and it all started then. I thought I deleted the file but I'm still having trouble. I've been digging for solutions on here, but nothing I've found on here has worked yet--the VSearch stuff (I think) isn't on my hard drive. Any advice?

You installed a variant of the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
This malware has many variants. Anyone else finding this comment should not expect it to be applicable.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.venus.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.venus.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.venus.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/venus
/System/Library/Frameworks/v.framework
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

EAP-TLS for Wireless network and PEAP for wired network

Hello,
it is possible to use EAP-TLS for Wireless network and PEAP for wired network on the same laptop (Windows 7).
Thank you in advance.
Thibault

Yes, this is possible. You just need to properly configure each interface to use the EAP type you want.

Is anyone else having trouble with bookmarks in Windows Safari 4?

Is anyone else having trouble with their bookmarks in the Windows version of Safari 4? The Bookmarks Bar imported when I upgraded from Safari 3.2.2. But the Bookmarks menu can't be seen when I click the icon that looks like an open book. The History & Bookmarks Menu present in cover flow (which by the way I love and have found very useful). But the Bookmarks Menu option remains blank. At first I thought it hadn't imported - but I've realised they have imported, just aren't displaying.
They are definately imported because the same Bookmarks Menu is still present on my iPhone through MobileMe synch. Also I can get to the bookmarked pages by clicking Alt-Bookmarks. All the bookmarked pages are there (along with being on my iPhone). So they've imported - they just don't display in Coverflow (or any view at all) when I click the open book icon.
Does anyone have any solutions please.

Ok I have a fix for that....
I just figured this problem out for myself with a friend]
==============================================================
CLOSE SAFARI
go to MY COMPUTER
C:
Documents and Settings
Your name
Application Data
Apple Computer
Safari Folder
Delete BOOKMARKS.PLIST
( Now I have to warn you this WILL DELETE your bookmarks from Safari so back them up before you do this )
NOW........
go back and IMPORT your bookmarks
take all your bookmarks from the "IMPORTED ON XX/XX/XXXX " folder and drop them into the BOOKMARKS MENU at the top ( not the folder just your bookmarks)
NOW DO NOT DELETE the Imported on xx/xx/xxxx folder
for some reason when you delete the IMPORTED ON XX/XX/XXXX folder.... It causes them to go missing under BOOKMARKS MENU
SO as long as you dont delete the IMPORTED ON xx/xx/xxxx folder they will stay in the BOOKMARKS MENU where you can manipulate them
ALSO... DO NOT DELETE the IMPORTED FROM INTERNET EXPLORER
or IMPORTED FROM NETSCAPE/ MOZILLA FOLDERS
that will also cause your bookmarks menu bookmarks to go missing too
I guess this is a temp. fix for now
Thanks,
Christopher

Troubles with wireless keyboard and iMac

My iMac won't recognize most of the keys on my wireless keyboard. Only several of the function keys seem to work. I've even tried replacing it with a new wireless keyboard, which worked to type in the pairing codes but also wouldn't enter any text into the password field. Since I'm stuck at the login screen and can't enter my password, I can't access any of the software troubleshooting programs that apple support recommends. I just ran an update several days ago. Could that have caused troubles?

1) You need to go into more detail as to the trouble with the wireless keyboard
2) Why can't you get a USB one? You can't order one online? Borrow one from someone?
Without some kind of text entry to enter the password this is going to be difficult.

EAP-TLS over wireless

Quick question for you EAP experts out there.
I want to be able to deploy EAP-TLS I understand that you need a machine and user certificate, does this mean that i would have to place the cetificate for each user account on that paticular laptop if utilised by more than one menber of staff ?
Thanks in advance.

If many users share clients, it can be problem that all users certificate have to be on the shared hardware. I had this issue in a school, and we ended up with using EAP-TLS and only hardware certificate. You don’t get full security in this case since you only verify the hardware, but on the other hand, the user have to log in to the domain, so users will be verified as well. Just not by the wireless system.

Z60t Trouble with Wireless LAN

A few weeks ago my Z60t ThinkPad developed trouble connecting to my LAN and I don't know why. The LAN connects my desktop and laptop via a Linksys router, which also provides the Internet access. The desktop, which has no wireless, connects by cable. The ThinkPad used to connect by wireless for many months, but it no longer does automatically. I can connect the ThinkPad via cable without any trouble. When I try ThinkVantage to find the LAN, it shows the proper name assigned to my LAN (as well as another access point that presumably belongs to a neighbor). When I click to connectto the LAN, the Access Connections window appears - but with the wrong name! Naturally it does not connect. I have no idea where that name, BApart, comes from. It does not show on the ThinkVantage panel of Wireless Networks and it is not the neighbor's LAN. I have never used it before. Occasionally Access Connections comes up with another name that I earlier used for my LAN before it switches to BApart and finally gives up.
The only way I can get the wireless connection working again is to use a Linksys program, which is very slow but usually makes the connection finally. Occasionally even it gets stuck. Once it makes the wireless connection, it works fine - until the next time I turn on the laptop or experiment with ThinkVantage to see if I can get it to connect again.
Where are those wrong names stored? Why do they pop up instead of the right name? How do I get rid of them permanently?

Bucky:
This happens to me fairly often after applying Microsoft Windows updates. To fix the WiFi interface, I have to boot into Safe Mode, then go into the Device Manager, delete the LAN (ethernet interface), then reboot.
The device manager won't let me delete the WiFi interface (says that interface is needed for booting), but will let me delete the LAN interface. Somehow, that makes the WiFi interface work again.
This recurring pain is why I have purchased no more Lenovo computers.

Trouble with wireless n and smb shares

I have a bit of a per-plexer here.
I have a personal mac that up until a little while ago, ran 1.5.8 flawlessly for six months since i had it.
This included a lot of mounting my windows 7 file server and watching movies or listening to music over wireless G. Every night in fact I would fall asleep to a movie, then wake up and play some music from my music folder on the same server.
The battery would die nightly of course. Morning, charge it up with some music on.
I picked up a copy of snow leopard upgrade for 30 bucks when it was released or there about and installed it. Went fine and I continued happily using the machine for about 2 months.
Then I bought a belkin wireless N gigabit router, to replace my wrt54g. It worked alright and I continued my daily/nightly routine, watch a movie, sleep, listen to music.
However the first morning, and every morning subsequently there after I have run in to a pain-in-the-butt problem.
I awoke to find, like always, my server shares still mounted (or at least they appeared to be). But opening any of them would present a blank finder window, like no files were available.
Unmounting and re-mounting the shares would fail, with a message saying unable to connect to the PC.
So, what do you do next? I reboot. My programs close, the dock, finder, my background turns to the blue solid.
System stops re-booting... it sits here, with a plain cursor and I am unable to do anything but hard-power it off.
After a hard-reboot,everything functions normally until it hibernates or sleeps with the samba shares.
I took the router back and got a dlink n/gigabit router instead, cussing out belkin on my way to the store. No change!
So I reinstalled (I didn't even archive, i just blew it away) - installed 10.5.8 again, upgraded to SL, and connected to my wireless. I can still reproduce the issue.
So, i'm bummed, i've tried a lot of things I wont bother listing here but one more important detail i wanted to add is:
I work at a company that has blanket wireless b/g coverage using multiple access points and a controller to do load balancing and access point switching.
Recently, we got a few N access points from the provider and I set them up around the office in a new, isolated SSID on the subnet i do my work on. Using WPA2 Psk, like at home.
So, now to be fair I've got a slightly-newer mac at the office, same unibody but late 2009 instead of early 2009 (sd slot instead of express slot). I threw SL on it, and connected to the new SSID i setup and finally connected to our netapp and left for the night.
Come in in the morning and I can reproduce the issue on the work mac.
So, two different macs, 2 very different N wireless networks and 2 different file server platforms. But same prob, **** thing chokes overnight.
I have been able to reproduce this issue with a slough of late 2009 macs at the office now, as I handed out the SSID key to those with SL as my unwitting test subjects. Everyone's coming up with the same problem.
Has anyone out there run in to this? It's such a huge issue i'm surprised i can't find anymore information about it!
Thanks,
Josh

I took a look at the logs and copy and pasted a lot, these are a few before and many from AFTER the hibernation last night.

Trouble with wireless switch (rfkill) and wireless connectivity.

Hello, this is my first message in this community so please bare with me if this message should be in the newbie part; but I think it's better fitted here. Other than that, I'm glad to be here .
After quite some time in Fedora I'm coming to Arch and I must say I'm delighted, so I wanted to use it in my laptop too which was running an old version of Fedora.
The laptop is an Airis N930 (about 5 years old) with a RaLink RT2500 wireless adapter which worked well in Fedora 11 but I'm having some trouble getting it to work in Arch. The problem is that the connectivity switch in this laptop is kind of a software one: in Windows it's compulsory to have a program which came in the drivers disk so that when that button is pressed (think of it as another key in the keyboard) the wireless connectivity is turned on and the indicator led lights up.
For a Linux based system there's no such program (I think) but the behaviour seems to be different in newer and older systems (I've tried Fedora and Ubuntu recent live environments and the behaviour is the same as in Arch). In Fedora 11 it just works everything's unblocked by default, in Arch the hardware block seems to be on and I don't know of any way to unblock it:
root@laptop ~ $ ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
root@laptop ~ $ rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
root@laptop ~ $ rfkill event unblock phy0
1298671843.804446: idx 0 type 1 op 0 soft 0 hard 1
Pressing the wireless connectivity button doesn't produce any event... Does anyone know what can I try or how to remove the hard block? Could it be related to newer kernels?
Thank you very much for your time, any fixes, workarounds or ideas are welcomed.

Thank you for your tips lamegaptop. I already have linux-firmware installed and I'm using the supported kernel module for the card (it's a PCI one):
06:01.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2500 802.11g (rev 01)
Loaded modules for it:
rt2500pci 12420 0
rt2x00pci 3890 1 rt2500pci
rt2x00lib 24866 2 rt2500pci,rt2x00pci

cfg80211 120337 2 rt2x00lib,mac80211
eeprom_93cx6 1004 1 rt2500pci
Rfkill is installed too, the output I posted in the first post belongs to the commands I entered in the Arch system. In Fedora rfkill always reports both blocks to be off.
As the Fedora system is running a 2.6.30.10 kernel I tried to run some tests using the LTS kernel (it's a 2.6.32.X right now) in the Archboot live environment, the output of "rfkill list" changed as seen below:
$ rfkill list

$ rfkill list

$ ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
This behaviour was the same when running the default Arch kernel in Archboot. I'm thinking in extracting the kernel configuration from the Fedora kernel and use it to build a new one and see if it helps, although I'm not sure where the problem may be.

HP PhotoSmart C4599 problems with Wireless on Windows 7 x64

Hello, I have a printer HP PhotoSmart C4599 running great on my Windows 7, but the problem is the Wireless of the printer. I've got a laptop (running on Windows Vista x86) that I use to print documents via Wireless and when i try to add the printer by wireless on the laptop it says the main computer (the one that is running Windows 7 x64) does not have the OEM proper driver installed, and it has...
Anyone has a solution to make the wireless of the HP PhotoSmart C4599 to work on Windows 7? I really appreciated.
Hope to hear some quick responses.
Thank you.

Verify that power outlet is working with a lamp or other appliance.
Verify power cord and power module are correct parts for that specific printer. Compare the Output voltage on the power module (the black box) with the listed voltage on the printer where the power cord plugs in. These must be the same
Remove power cord and power module from printer and power outlet. Separate power cord and module (let stand for 15 seconds)
Plug Power Cord into Power Module (plug firmly together)
Plug Power Cord with module directly into WALL outlet (Remove any surge protector or extension cords and plug printer cord directly into wall socket)
Check to see if power cord or module has LED light.
If has LED make sure it is glowing (if not glowing then replace power cord and module)
If no LED Plug cord into printer - make sure it is plugged in properly and firmly.
Press power button on printer to power up. If does not power up first time hit power button a few times to see if it works.
if you happen to have another printer with same power cord configuration (fits specs) try these steps again
If printer will not become responsive at this point, then you'll need to replace the printer.
if it is a hardware issue, contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836. Often there are special offers on replacements available to returning customers who are having hardware issues.

[Solved]Having trouble with Grub detecting Windows 8 in dualboot

Hey there,
I have a UEFI board. When I first installed archlinux I did not used the Windows boot partition. To fix this I loaded up the installation media, mounted the partitions as they should be, mounting the microsoft boot partition as /mnt/boot and mounted my UEFI partition into /mnt/boot/efi. I reinstalled the kernel and regenerated the fstab. I also reinstalled grub and os-prober and such and regenerated the config.
When I did all this, there is still not /boot/EFI/Microsoft. The grub mkconfig does not detect the microsoft boot at all.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

I am using 2 disks: sda and sdb.
I made sda2 is the windows boot partition, sda5 is the root partition for arch, sda6 is the UEFI partition I made for UEFI, sdb2 is the home partition.
I followed the commands in the beginners guide.
Originally I did
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/home
pacstrapped and generated fstab and did the three commands for grub before arch-chroot
# umount /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
# modprobe -r efivars
# modprobe efivars
Arch-chrooted, changed clock, changed hostname, changed passwd, then installed grub
# pacman -S grub efibootmgr
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck --debug
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Exited, unmouted, and rebooted
Grub arrives but of course Windows is missing. Windows boot is in sda2. I made sure by looking in gparted lol
At this point I booted installation media again and remounted
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/boot/efi
mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/home
Did pre-grub stuff then arch-chrooted in and reinstalled the kernel and grub and grub config
# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-3.xx-x.pkg.tar.gz for reinstalling the kernel in the chroot
At this point I rebooted but I forgot to regenerate the fstab. So I remounted everything the same way, deleted the fstab and regenerated it. The fstab looks ok when I log in. I also then reinstalled grub and made the config again.
This is where I am at now. I also get this weird issue when I shutdown, it immediately starts up again. I know this could be an issue with the Windows 8 fastboot, but I know I disabled that before I installed arch linux.
Any tips would be great. I'm not sure where to go from here.
And yes you're right it should be /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft. I have /boot/EFI/EFI/arch-grub but not Microsoft in there

Trouble with wireless bridge......

I am having extreme difficulty setting up Cisco Aironet 1310 series devices. here is an overview:
We have our main network with an ip scheme of 10.1.1.0/24 on one side and an office across the street that is on 10.1.2.0/24.
I want to connect these 2 networks via wireless bridge. We do have a PTP T1 between the 2 sites that is used to carry VoIP traffic and data, but I want the data moved to the wirless bridges.
I put the bridges on their own network of 192.168.1.0/28 and I am using 2 switches with their own VLANS on the same network as the bridges.
No matter what I try, I can't get traffic to flow properly.
does anyone have any suggestions or can they point me in the right direction. It is driving me crazy!
thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the response.
AP's are running in "root" and "non-root" mode and they are able to talk to each other ok. Just can't get the traffic to flow from point A to B (the main network, through the wireless bridges, over to the remote network and back again), then back from B to A. The traffic either loops or bounces back and forth between the firewall and the switches. I suspect I need t tweak the gateways on each of AP's as well.
Right now, the gateways are set to point to the VLAN set on the switch of the opposite side. This way, traffic hits the AP and is forwarded through to the opposite VLAN.
I am using seperate VLAN's to seperate the traffic but have not tried to associate with a specific SSID as of yet.

Having trouble with FarmVille gift window... the "envelope" isn't displayed when I start game

However, if I use IE, the envelope appears, and my gifts window loads. Also, my husband's computer running Firefox works correctly; he has no problems with this FarmVille issue.
So, what am I doing wrong, what's preventing this feature of FarmVille from working properly when I use Firefox on my computer?

Hi Kacky,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Problems using Facebook in Firefox]]? There is a lot of good troubleshooting information in there. Please be sure to try all of the suggested steps. Each one is valuable and may be the answer to your issue.
Hopefully this helps!

Trouble with installation of Windows 8 with VMware 9.0

Hi,
Please check if the method Carl shared helps.
Based on my understanding, the error message might be related to the hardware. If the method doesn't help, as it is a VMware virtual machine, please contact VMware support for further investigation:
