    Good Morning,

     

    I've been having issues with users connecting with various Windows XP, 7, or Windows 8 machines to my 802.1x network with Radius authentication.  The Macs work just fine.  

     

    I thought I'd create an open network that redirects users to a captive portal page then use the same Radius authentication point and get users authenticated easier.

     

    Is there a way to use a model like this and still assign user roles based on the filter-id that is passed back from the Radius server like I do with 802.1x SSID?

    Yes, you can return RADIUS attributes like role name.  However, do your clients not need to be connected to an encrypted network rather than an open network?

    I suppose that could be an issue. Is there a way to have it encrypted? Another solution?

    The only option in this scenario is to use a PSK.

     

    What issues are the Windows clients having? Most times it is just a matter of accepting the server certificate.
