vista wireless single sign-on

raju · Aug 8, 2008

Hi,
I am trying 802.1x authentication ( PEAP with EAP-MSCHAP V2) in our wireless
network. I have installed IAS RADIUS for wireless authentication. All our
clients are windows vista.I have read VISTA supports Single Sign On wireless
profiles to connect to protected networks before domain logon. I have set
ssoMode as preLogon, but my experience is that it works with only cached
profiles or log off from a local account (network connection not required). But with a new user login gives an error “there are currently no
logon sever available”. Could someone help me?
Thanks

Hello Raju,
The error message your getting is by design I think. In order to logon via wireless like your wanting you must first log into the domain (via network cable) so the cached account will be created. When you try it with a new user it will not work because that computer knows it has never attempted to log on locally with those new user credentials so it wants to look for the domain to validate the id/password thus creating a cached domain account on that computer. So after that you reboot the computer then attempt to log in via wireless and it works like you said.

There may be a way around this. If so I do not know how. If someone knows I'd like to know too!

Hope this helps.
Raj

A good place to check (and as) would be at Petri forums....
