Most 802.1X implementations use a radius server. However, it is also possible for LDAP.
In order to authenticate against LDAP, the following must be done:
- controller must be configured for eap termination.
- the eap type for the client must be configured for EAP-GTC.
802.1X EAP-GTC
- supplicant for macbook is built-in.
- unfortunately, windows machine is shipped with PEAP or EAP-TLS. Thus, in order to get EAP-GTC, you have to either load a shim or load a different supplicant. Aruba has a shim that you can download from our support site.
