Regarding PEAP wpa_supplicant interoperability

Hi all,
           Thanks for the response ....
 
        I tested without configuring the ca_cert in wpa_supplicant.cnf file , any how it successfully completed phase 1 and entered phase 2 authentication ( PEAP ), but after the APPLICATION DATA handshake it failed to proceed further. Is it the problem with IAS server configuration ? Can any one help me in this regard .
         How to generate a Microsoft CA certificate with IAS server ?
         In my case if i configure the server certificate in wpa_supplicant it is not identifying the issuer of the certificate, is this happening since IAS server i am using is in differant domain ? 

Thanks and regards,
- JMI

Yes, this works fine in my tests.

I have used certificates generated by Microsoft CA with IAS and that has
worked fine. Are you sure you configured the correct CA certificate to
wpa_supplicant? Have you tested whether this works without ca_cert
configured in wpa_supplicant.conf?

Well, yes, but getting this configured is going to be quite complex. One
would need to add all the required certificate extensions and then load
the certificate. I have seen it done once, but I would not be doing it
without plenty of time available to waste on this.. ;-)
