Morning,

I am trying to configure an Cisco 1200AP and a Linksys WRT54G to work with
certificates. I followed this guide to perfection that I was given earlier.

http://home.comcast.net/~clearviewtc/

It was a great guide and helped immensly with my implementation. I did the
following:

Installed an configured Certification Authority
Installed Internet Auth Service
Defined my RADUIS Clients and Access Policy for Wireless
I created a wireless group and a wireless GPO
GPO consisting of Autoenrollment for "Computer" Certificates
I set my gpo so that it only authenticates Computer Certs / TKIP/ WPA
I can see on a client machine that the cert is there and it is the correct
cert

---- But naturally when I go to connect to the Network with a client device
I get no luck... just says Validating Identity -----

Im guess im frustrated because I can see where I went wrong on with this
guide, Im working with my linksys now and still no luck, any good guides to
peap maybe?

Noncentz

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Go into IAS and at the top left, r-click "Internet Authentication Service
(Local)" -> Properties. Check the two boxes to enable success and failure
logging. After a login attempt fails, check the System log on the SBS to
see if IAS logged the connection attempt. If so, you might get some help
from the log entry. If not, it's probably a configuration issue on the
client PC or the router.

Everything needs to match exactly - for example, WPA and WPA2 are not
interchangeable, nor are TKIP and AES. I can't remember the details now,
but I had a WAP setting relating to security that appeared to match
everything else but did not. If you're following Owen's document exactly,
just make sure that everything is set to WPA, and to TKIP. If you have a
choice, you need WPA Enterprise, not WPA with PSK.

Failing that, you could try updating the NIC drivers on the wireless client,
and also maybe trying a different wireless client or NIC. I've had some
weird authentication issues with Intel wireless NICs, sometimes helped by a
driver update, but I did have to replace one. You can try disabling all the
security to make sure the client can associate with the WAP, but I've had
one instance where it would connect without security but not with, and
that's the one where I had to replace the NIC.

Dave,

I turned both boxes on and I check my System Log and whammo.... nothing.
Guess that means im not gettin anything so it must be my client or router. I
did get this error in the Application log though

From IAS:
The description for Event ID ( 2 ) in Source ( IAS ) cannot be found. The
local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL
files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the
/AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for
details. The following information is part of the event: %%2147483686,
MCCOYSALES\Guest, 10.10.0.115, 001d7ea04513, 001d7ea04513, 001d604008fa,
LinksysAP, 10.10.0.115, Wireless - IEEE 802.11, 50, Use Windows
authentication for all users, %%2147483688, %%2147483685, %%2147483685, EAP,
%%2147483685, 34, %%4130.

The part i noticed was the "MCCOYSALES\Guest 10.10.0.115" which is my domain
and AP but its under guest, i dont really know why it would tag that AP with
guest but ??? either way thanks for the quick reply, still dissecting the
issue

When the client PC boots, does it log any auto enrollment errors in its
application log? I know you've verified the correct certificate is
installed, but that Guest thing is weird - not something I've seen before.

Do you run ISA 2004? In its default configuration, that blocks certificate
auto enrollment. I'm pretty sure the fix for that is included in Owen's
white paper.

Actually I do have an error during the AutoEnrollment:

AutoEnrollment Event ID 15
Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed to contact the
active directory (0x8007003a). The specified server cannot perform the
requested operation.
Enrollment will not be performed.

Userenv Event ID 1053
Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The RPC server is
unavailable. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

I have checked a couple of user machines.. the have all failed autoenrollment
but have the cert. Here is the common error that I get:

Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed to contact the
active directory (0x8007054b). The specified domain either does not exist or
could not be contacted.
Enrollment will not be performed.

Do you have ISA 2004? If so, that's what's causing the auto enrollment
failures - you need to turn off strict RPC compliance in the system
policies.

Have you tried booting these machines while connected to the wired network?
AFAIK you have to get the certificate enrolled once over wired before it
will work for wireless. What happens if you boot while connected to wired -
do you still get the auto enrollment error?

Re: Wireless WPA on SBS not authenticating by Noncentz

I do not have ISA 2004 although I wish I had..... The autoenrollment error I
get though "error 15"

Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed to contact the
active directory (0x8007054b). The specified domain either does not exist or
could not be contacted. Enrollment will not be performed.

Which ive been told to be a DNS error although ive about ruled that out. All
the test equipment I have is also connected to the Wired Lan to recieve the
certificate then tested on wireless. I did read this error though

-------------------------------------------------
From a newsgroup post:
"Based on my research, when you install a CA, on a machine that is running
Windows 2003, it should automatically create a group called
CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS and enroll all the domain controllers as members of this
group. I suspect that this was not happening and hence the auto enrollment
was failing. At this point, I suggest you run the following command on the
problematic Windows 2003 Server:
certutil -setreg SetupStatus -SETUP_DCOM_SECURITY_UPDATED_FLAG.
After this stop and start the certsvr service by using the following commands:
net stop certsvc
net start certsvr
The steps above will create the group and then you can add the DCs as
members of the group. If the group already exists, then simply add the DCs as
members of the group".
--------------------------------------------------
So what I have done is to find that group and add my domain Controllers to
the group. But I cant quite test yet because I dont know how to force a
machine to update its certification. I will let u know

Actually that is where I got the idea to add the Domain Controllers to the
CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group. I cant see if the domain machines are running
autoenrollment correctly though because I cant reenroll all certificate
holders, its not allowed for some reason and thats the template im using. Do
the autoenrollment settings have to do anything with auth once the machine
has a good cert. I manually updated the cert on my client machine just fine.
