Wireless Profile issue

Hi all,
One of my client was using Autonomous Wireless setup in 2 of their offices, and user authentication was done through Certificate based authentication using AD. In one of their office, saying Office-1, they deployed WLC 5508 and all the autonomous APs were replaced with LWAPP APs. Controller is integrated with AD using Microsoft IAS and users are successfully authenticating.
Now, there is strange problem. Once the user creates a Wireless Profile at Office-1 and successfully connects to the Network, and then he/she moves to Office-2, he is not able to re-connect to the Network and he/she has to delete the existing profile, create the same profile again and then he/she is able to join the Network. Wireless Profile configuration is same for both the locations, except for the thing that Office-1 has Wireless LAN controller and Office-2 does not have WLC. This issue is being faced with only Windows 7 machines, and on Windows XP, it is working fine without deleting/creating new Wireless profile. Looking forward for valuable response.

HT204387 BOSE Bluetooth wireless headphones work with iPhone but not iMac - Profile issue I assume - but why not!!!!

I have a great pair of BOSE wirless headphones that connect faultlessy to my iPhone. I'm very dissappointed however to find that I cannot use the same headphonse on my iMac or my MacBook Air. I assume it's a bluetooth profile issue but in product utility terms it makes no sense. Is anyone aware of a way of circumventing this resytiction (e.g. third-party product, mac setting,...etc)?

Yes. This has to be the 8.xx iOS.
I have experienced this since purchasing the 6+. Now, I attempting to pair the phone to Sync in my Ford F150, it
can't find the phone. I go through any number of attempts: rebooting the phone, finding a bluetooth device on Sync, etc.
Most of the time it shows a "cannot find bluetooth device". Or the Sync shows a pairing number to type in the phone in order
to pair, but the iPhone doesn't see Sync, so nothing can be done.
Sometimes, and I mean only sometime, the device is paired by itself. (On sync, "choose input: usb or bluetooth" and trying this
several times, Lo and Behold.....wait for it......the iPhone 6+ connects!
This is not what I had, an iPhone 4S, that one pairing, and always paired. (truck off, crank and instantly paired). The old days!
I have check Ford to look for an update. I have the latest from 2012. The final one for my truck model year.
This version of iOS needs works and must be updated again.
I don't know who to contact at Apple but the mods here don't say how to do that. It another Apple waiting and see.
If I find a solution, I will post it immediately. I hope you will post as well. Thanks for reading.

T60 does not automatically connect to wireless profile at bootup any more

Probably my rose-colored-glasses mistake again.
I let the ThinkVantage system updater install most of the latest updates last night including the
wireless adapter software. Now, when I boot up, my PC no longer automatically connects to
my wireless profile. The radio is on and it is obvious it knows the network is there because it
is highlighted in the Access Connections menu with a Connect option.
It connects just fine when click Connect.
It will still automatically switch between ethernet and wireless when I plug and unplug the
ethernet cable even if I have specifically disconnected from the wireless connection before
plugging in the ethernet cable. It also automatically connects when I log off Windows and log back on.
Is there a setting some place that controls whether it should automatically connect to a
wireless profile at bootup?
I love the brain-dead online FAQ about this exact problem.
It says to click the Connect button if it happens.
Well, duh! What do I do to make it automatically connect like it used to?
I tried unchecking the "allow computer to turn off the radio" setting as other suggested.
But, my problem is not the radio being off.
Thanks

Hi sashton,
When troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity issues, I find the following resource has the most relevant information:
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Furthermore, you may want to avoid giving your network a common name. While the following article (and excerpt) refer to iOS devices, the same applies for your Mac:
Avoid giving your wireless network a common name (SSID)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4450
If you were to give your wireless network a common name (SSID), users of your network who use iOS devices [sic] and are away from your network would run the risk of joining a different network with the same name. Having joined the unexpected network, they would be exposed to potential data theft.
Because of this security issue, Apple maintains a list of common or ambiguous SSIDs, including the default SSID for many commercially available access points, as well as the SSIDs "wireless" and "default". If your network's name is on the list, any iOS device [sic] that joins the network stores the access point's BSSID and associates it with the network's SSID. Subsequently, it will only auto-join the network if the access point's BSSID matches the information the device has stored. This avoids joining a different network with the same name.
Therefore, you may want to refer to the following article when configuring your Wi-Fi router:
iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199

ISE 1.3 Why are Windows endpoints defaulting to 802.1x machine authentication in wireless profile and not User or User&Computer

We are running ISE 1.3 tied to AD with WLC 7.6.130.0. Our ISE has a GoDaddy (none wildcard) certificate loaded for https and EAP. We are just running PEAP. We have a mix of IOS, Android, and Windows 7/8 devices. IOS and Android devices can self create a wireless profile and after entering credentials can connect without issue. Our Windows 7/8 devices, when auto creating a wireless profile are selecting 802.1x machine authentication instead of User authentication or the best option which is machine or user authentication. This is problematic as we do allow for machine authentication but have an authorization rule limiting machine auth to domain controller and ISE connectivity only. This is to allow domain Windows 7/8 devices to have domain connectivity prior to user sign-in but force user auth to get true network connectivity. The problem is why are the Windows devices not auto setting to user authentication (as I think they did when we ran ISE1.2), or the best option which is to allow both types of authentication? I have limited authentication protocols to just EAP CHAP and moved the machine auth profile to the bottom of the list. Neither have helped. I also notice that the Windows 7/8 endpoints have to say allow connectivity several times even though we are using a global and should be trusted certificate authority (probably a separate issue).
Thank you for any help or ideas,

When connecting a windows device to the ISE enabled SSID when there is not a saved wireless profile on that machine, it will connect and auto create the profile. In that profile, 802.1x computer authentication option is chosen by windows. That has to be changed to computer or user for the machine to function correctly on the network.
On 1.2, this behavior was different. The Windows device would auto select user authentication by default. At other customer sites, windows devices auto select user authentication. This of course needs to be changed to user or computer in order to support machine auth, but at least the default behavior of user authentication would allow machines to get on the network and functional easily to begin with.

Wireless Profile (System Payload) - A keychain cannot be found to store....

Hey Guys,
Got a rather complex one here which I'm reasonably sure is specifically just a 10.10 Yosemite bug in itself but here's some background, hopefully someone else can replicate it and offer an explanation.
I work at a school and we have WPA2 enterprise wireless utilising certificates and TLS authentication, where as part of TLS we provide a username which matches the certificate name.
We create our wireless profiles for devices through Casper or iPhone Configuration Utility (both output the same file and both work). We are finding that in Yosemite, only user level wireless profile payloads are deploying error free.
Casper allows you to create a system payload wireless profile (mobileconfig), and I also know the lines to modify within an exported iPhone Configuration Utility profile to make it a system one.
If we attempt to deploy a system level payload of a wireless profile, we are meeting the error:
"A keychain cannot be found to store TLSUSERNAMEHERE"
You can then choose to select 'Cancel' or 'Reset to Defaults'
I notice that at this point, the wireless is already in fact connected and am clicking 'Cancel' and just moving on.
If you choose to click 'Reset to Defaults' you get the message:
"Are you sure you want to reset your keychain? This will delete all your saved passwords, keys, and certificates. You cannot undo this operation"
You can then choose to select 'Cancel' or 'Reset'
When you choose 'Reset' a window appears stating:
"Please enter your login password. This password will be used to create your new keychain."
You then attempt to enter your password in the text box, however nothing you type appears in the text box at all. You can tick show password which should show what you're typing but still nothing appears in the text box, all you see is a flashing cursor, no password dots, characters or anything. You click OK and it just closes the window.
However the above exact same mobileconfig file works fine on every OSX we have except for 10.10 Yosemite.
We have also tried deploying this same profile on multiple devices running 10.10 Yosemite and they all have the exact same error.
The fact that the profile starts working before you respond to the error indicates to me that this is a false error or a bug within 10.10 Yosemite itself, especially given when you try to do the reset it's indicating you should do, you cant even enter any text and pressing ok just closes it off completely.
Unfortunately I can't find anyone else that's had this problem - can anyone shed some light on this?

Having the exact same issue here. Trying to enable 802.1x wifi on MacBook Airs so that they can authenticate to AD at login and mount user home directories properly. Loading the profile developed to allow connection to wireless before the actual login to the computer gives exactly the same symptoms. I believe, but am not sure that it is because the TLSUSERNAME and password are stored in the profile, and it doesn't know how/where to store the login. The not being able to type in the "Reset" is also identical.
Any updates or ideas? 100% reproducible on 20 different MacBook Airs for 20 different users.

Wireless profiles problem

I'm hoping that Phrakture and Dibblethewrecker see this. I'm setting up a Thinkpad X20 with a Cisco 350 wireless card. I grabbed the dibble-modified wireless script, and set up a new wireless-profile. I repeatedly get the message on booting that the wireless-profile is NOT found. Here's a couple of other things:
1. I've repeatedly tweaked the profile, but I'm pretty sure that I've got it right. Plus, I've checked and doublechecked that it's in the right place, and that rc.conf points to it.
2. I can bring up the wireless connection manually.
3. I imported Phrakture's old wireless script (and profile) from another machine with Arch on it, and BOOM, I got connected right away.
So, this is not a matter of urgency. I'm just looking for pointers to help me solve my problems with the new script.
This does not appear to be a problem for others since I've found no other posts on this issue. As always, assistance is appreciated.

We see all! :twisted:
Anyway, I'd suggest checking out the initscripts in the testing repo - Judd has implemented roaming network profiles there (as they are official, it'd make more sense to use them)

RDP + Wireless disconnect - 802.1x wireless profile

We have an enterprise access point that uses 802.1x domain user authentication so when the user logs into their domain laptop it automatically authenticates and connects using their AD credentials. It's worked great for years.
However we recently noticed (and apparently its done this forever my coworkers tell me) if you Remote Desktop into a any laptop that is on this 802.1x access point the wireless connection disconnects. It does this even if you are using the same username/pw
to connect with Remote Desktop. If you log back in on that laptop the wireless instantly reconnects.
We have a GPO that pushes to these laptops and sets this access point/SSID as the default. I can't see anything obvious that would disconnect this wireless profile if RDP tries to connect...
Anyone else seen this? This is across all windows domain wireless systems, all hardware types.

Hi,
Please follow the steps bellow:
1. Check if you have any third-party network card tool , if so, please choose to let Windows manage your network connections, then check if issue would be solved.
2. If the solutions mentioned above don’t work, please delete your wireless profile and create it again.
Please refer to the following thread about deleting wireless profile.

Wireless Profile Certificate Embed with SOE image

Guys, i need help on this issue. Our company has all the Cisco Wireless AP. i would like to know if i want to Embed Wireless Profile and tag with every new PC/Laptop with the SOE image. What should i need to do ? anything that i need to buy for this ?
Do we need to set up another CA server ? why we need that ?
The main purpose is for us to easy maintain the wireless profile. so that we no need to manually key in the wireless setup. so, whenever a fresh installation of the PC/Laptop, it will automatic connect to the company wireless network through the certificate. can you please guide me on this ? as my company engineer seems not sure how to do. i just join to this company and thinking of implement this project.
Thanks for the help.

Wireless Profiles not advertised

I have two 4402-50 controllers that will server upto 45 APs. The install and implementation has just begun. The controllers have three SSID's (in separate VLANs) configured. I was able to see and connect to all the profiles. I decided to change tha allowed VLANs on the trunk from switch to controllers. I only allowed the three SSID vlans and the management VLAN. Once I did that, I could not see the three SSID in available networks on the client. I then undid the switch configuration but to no success. I rebooted 5 APs (only 5 APs are installed and running yet and others are bring installed) and I could see the SSIDs available as wireless networks on the client. Few questions:
1. Was I wrong in prunning the VLANs to only allow the management VLAN and the three wireless profile VLANs between the switch and controller? I thought that is the only significant traffic for the controllers.
2. If I misconfigured something on the switch trunk ports that resulted in the WLAN interfaces on the controller to go down, then it makes sense that profiles were no longer available. But when the things were corrected on the switch, the profiles did not become available till I rebooted the APs. If the WLAN interfaces on the controller were back up and running, should not it have pushed that to APs as available profiles? I did wait for an hour after undoing the switch trunk port configuration before I rebooted the APs.
Let me know what additional information I can provide.
Thanks,
Gill

prunning the VLANs is a good practise to be followed and there is nothing wrong in doing the same.Allowing the three SSID vlans and the management VLAN is enough for the device to work fine and changes that yoy have done as per your explanation will not affect the working of the device.Also rebooting the AP will just fetch the available onfiguration from the controller.Can you provide the logs for the events you have explained which will be helpful in identifying the exact reason for the issue.

Iphone/IOS 6 and Enterprise Wireless Networks Issue

Hi there,
Our company runs Cisco wireless using WPA2 Enterprise and AD Authentication. Now we currently have multiple vendor phones/laptops working fine including Apple Macbook Pro's, Apple Iphone 4s, Samsung Galaxy S2/S3 working on the wireless without issue.
However Ive been seeing issues with Iphone 5s and an Ipad now as well running IOS 6 where it just wont connect to the network. I am using Iphone configuration utility to install a Wireless profile with the certificate/AD credentials onto the Apple device.
I just loaded the profile on an Iphone 5 and it worked straight away.
However on ipad and other iphone 5's this is what happened, it associated to the Wireless but never got an IP address so never finishes connecting. just sits on spinning wheel.
Here is some output from the Iphone configuration utility console:

Wireless connectivity issue with HP Folio 1040G1 notebook

We are planning to introduce HP Folio 1040G1 notebooks in our environment. We have installed Windows7 64bit OS on the notebooks and the recommended drivers are installed. Now we are facing issues when connecting to our office wireless network. The
network is hidden and a Wireless profile has to be installed in order to connect. It also requires a certificate installed in trusted root store to validate the server. We installed the profile and the certificate but not able to connect to office wireless
network. However we can see the network in the available networks list but when trying to connect, getting 169* IP address(with limited connectivity icon).
Same profile and certificate work with other models of HP Elitebook such as 8440P, 8460P, 8470P, 2540P, 2560P, 2570P. Only on the new model 1040G1, we are not able to connect.
Kindly advise. Urgent help required.

Hi,
So here the same configuration worked on the other models?
Please take a verify to see if there are any steps missed when configuring the software.
Besides, reinstall or update the NIC drivers and try to disable firewall as well as anti-virus to see if those help.
Meanwhile, please also take a try on the manufacturer's web sites and see if any further assistance could be offered there.

Is there a fix for the MBP wireless dropping issue?

I began to experience the Macbook Pro dropping wireless connectivity on my very 1st Apple in 2008. At the end of the day my machine was replaced with a new Macbook Pro mid 2010. It appeared to be working just fine until about 2-3 months ago when I started dropping my wireless printer connection. I searched the internet hoping for a driver update from HP or something from Apple and each time I found something, the problem still existed. I even thought that by upgrading to Lion would resolve any issues that I have with my MBP wireless connectivity issue. After upgrading to buying a new router, new printer and upgrading to Lion; the wireless dropping issue still remains unresolved! I know there are several hundred in not thousands of people who are having the same problem so what are we supposed to do?
When my 1st MBP was replaced in 2010 I had to stop working because I was diagnosed with "Failed Back Surgical Syndrome" and was in the process of applying for disability. Something in the back of my mind said that I needed to purchase Apple Care for this new replacement however I had used all of my savings & retirement to sustain life for me and my family that there was nothing for Apple Care. If it weren't for my church and family I am not sure what I would do during the 18 months of no income while waiting for a decision only to receive an appeal until I findly stood in front of an Administrative Law Judge who heard my case and granted me disability. Besides there was no way I could ask anyone for money to purchase a warranty for a top of the line laptop while the country was falling off an economical cliff.
I broke down and called Apple Support and was told that I qualified for technical assistance regarding the upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago. The tech on the phone had me run some disk utility tests and had me repair permissions which she said could be the cause of the problem. I willingly went along with her in hopes that this was indeed the fix. However, within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone my MBP began to drop it's wireless connection to my new HP printer and also the Internet. Hence my question above is what I am really looking to have answered! What is the fix to this problem that so many people are having issues with? I couldn't afford to purchase Apple Care back in 2010 and I can't afford to purchase a new 2011 machine today if that truly is the fix!
I will be disabled for the remainder of my life and I have grown dependent upon my computer to stay in touch with friends and colleges from work. I worked for the IT Group at Wynn Resorts and I can say that the type of service Appple is providing it's customers is not what I learned over the past 25 years with Mr. Wynn. Why can't Apple get the simple concept that it's customers are it's life line and keeps them in business. I need help and I don't know what to do nor where to turn. It would be different if Apple acknowledged the issue and said they were working on it however they aren't. I plead to Apple to help me fix my notebook so I can stay connected to the outside world vs. couped up inside my home.
Best Regards,
Scott Leavitt

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

My macbook pro was repaired and since then i can't get nor photoshop or bridge to initialize. a window appears that says it has initializing problems due to an icc profile issue.

my macbook pro was repaired and since then i can't get nor photoshop cs5 or bridge cs5 to initialize. a window appears that says it has initializing problems due to an icc profile issue.
there appear two error messages. the first one says that there has been a problem sincronizing because of a programme error. the second one appears after you clicked ok on the first window and says that photoshop couldn't be initialized because the icc profile is invalid.
does anyone know if i have to delete any system or photoshop preference? the illustrator is also having troubles. thanks

thanks! what finnally worked better was renaming the «settings» folder in te «color folder» in the library with ~before the name. now indesign is asking me for thw icc profiles but still works, so i asume i can reinstall color settings only for indesign and go on.

Colour Profile issues between North America and Europe

I have a corporate colour, C80M80Y0K0 which creates a very attractive shade of purple. Within North America all printouts demonstrate very similar variations of that purple colour. We have an office in UK that uses the same collateral pieces. While they preview correctly on screen, they are unable to reproduce that purple in their office or with their professional suppliers (all digital processes). The resultant colour is blue (approx C92M68Y18K0).
The files are created in Indesign, using a process colour within Indesign, and then exported to a PDF and shared with the UK office.
My guess is that it is a colour profile issue - has anyone else had this same issue, and if it is indeed a colour profile issue, what profile would you recommend using? I've tried using some of the other default profiles within Indesign but with no luck.
Any assistance would be really appreciated.

The resultant colour is blue (approx C92M68Y18K0).
What preset are you using for the Export, or what are the Output settings? Have you tried PDF/X?
PDF/X-4 will leave color unchanged and profile everything, so a color change like you are describing most likely means the wrong output profile is being used in the UK.
PDF/X-1a forces everything into your doc's CMYK space and makes conversions at output less likely—with X-1a your 80|80|0|0 mix will probably be output unchanged.

One Wireless Profile in ACCESS CONNECTIONS interferes with another?

I have a profile on my T61 laptop for my secured home wireless connection. It's worked fine (now that I've figured out all the idiosyncracies of ACCESS CONNECTIONS) up to today.
Last night, I connected to a Boingo wireless system at the airport, and saved the profile in ACCESS CONNECTIONS.
Today, when I tried to connect to my home system via my home wireless profile, I continually was told by ACCESS CONNECTIONS that the router was out of range or unavailable. I checked my profile and all settings were correct for my home wireless. All profiles are turned off for automotic location switching.
Long story short -- after other failed steps, I finally deleted the Boingo airport profile from ACCESS CONNECTIONS, and suddenly ACCESS CONNECTIONS was able to connect to my home wireless system again.
Why would one wireless profile interfere and seeming superimpose its connection settings onto my home wireless profile? I believe I now have found another idiosyncracy, it seems?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here is the solution to the problem.
GoBoingo has a software program that is set to run during Startup (MSCONFIG in Windows XP); this program alerts the laptop user to the presence of a nearby BOINGO wireless hot spot. This program apparently is interfering with ACCESS CONNECTIONS in the sense that it seems to point the laptop's wireless to a BOINGO access point, regardless of whether one is nearby or not. Then, when I try to use ACCESS CONNECTIONS to connect to the home wireless profile, I'm told that the wireless router is out of range -- and, of course, it is, except that it's a BOINGO wireless router, not my home wireless router.
The solution is to remove the GoBoingo software from running in the Startup window, and instead manually start up the software if one wants to check for a nearby BOINGO wireless hot spot. After unchecking GoBoingo from Startup list, and rebooting the computer, I was able to connect to my home wireless router without any problems.
