RADIUS on windows 2003 and wireless security setup
Gents,
I'm setting up a RADIUS server and on my lab it worked fine as long I use a real certificate. On the client, I've been testing it with a self signed certificate but no luck, so I'm not sure if the certificate is avoiding the clients to work or not.
Here is the event error
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: administrator, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\administra tor, 192.168.35.71, c0c1c059bb48, c0c1c059bb48, 68a3c4c72256, Oval Wireless, 192.168.35.71, Wireless - IEEE 802.11, 51, Use Windows authentication for all users, %%2147483688, %%2147483685, Oval Wireless, PEAP, %%2147483685, 16, %%4112.
I've used this guide to setup, which worked fine on my lab:

Could you guys tell me what am I missing? I've seen reports that RADIUS work fine with self signed certificates, so why am I having these problems?

I've installed the self signed certificate on the laptop and it worked fine on a Windows 2008 server that I installed just for testing so it looks like the configuration is fine. I'll just discard the idea of using self signed certificate for this anyway.
My client has a wildcard certificate, but it doesn't work so I believe this is one of the reasons.
I'll get a normal certificate tomorrow and go back to the 2003 server to test

I'm not sure how to interpret this. You're putting a self-signed certificate on the client machine that is trying to connect? Can you provide more detail?
