Thanks ShineON<br />
In response &nbsp;to your questions:<br />
1) I have not gone through the wizard yet. I wanted to do some research before attempting the setup. <br />
2) I believe the version of Netware we are using is 6.5; e-directory (8.73)<br />
I don't know what NOS is. <br />
3) the APs I am going to be using is are Cisco Aironet 1100 and 1131. My goal is to set then up in some type of extended network where they all function as one WLAN. <br />
I hope this info is helpful. <br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I work in a Novell network, where LDAP is coupled to work with e-directory (I don't know what version)<br />
from what I've researched, I am not entirely certain that I NEED active directory to setup a certifiate and RADIUS server to service my soon to be establised wireless network. <br />
my question: can I setup a Certificate (IAS) and RADIUS server without AD?<br />
if so, would someone please provide some resources on how to accomplish this?<br />
(your efforts are GREATLY appreciated)<br />
Thanks Geniuses! <br />

Configuring a RADIUS server without Active Directory

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
