I recently installed an Aruba wireless network using an Aruba 3600 controller with 802.1x authentication to Apple OSX Open Directory LDAP. Things were working good. The customer could take their Apple MACBook's and iPads and click on the 802.1x authenticated SSID. A box would pop-up asking them to log into the domain using their domain credentials and they would get connected. No further action was required.
The customer wanted the ability to map user roles to VLAN Pools which is now available in AOS 6.3.x. So I upgraded the controller to 6.3.0.1 and was able to map the user roles to the proper VLAN Pools. This part is fine.
The issue that the customer noticed is that they are no longer able to simply click on the 802.1x authenticated SSID and enter their domain login and password to get connected. We now have to manually go into the MACBook advanced wireless settings and set the EAP encryption types (both inner and outer) before these devices will connect.
My question is: What changed from AOS 6.1.3.6 to AOS 6.3.0.1 to cause this?
Thanks,
John
