At the moment I have a Cisco 1231 access point in use and I was wondering if I could use OpenLDAP in combination with FreeRadius to do some authentication for my wireless clients. Next to that I want a setup to test Radius authentication with an ASA 5505. Since I'm still in a FreeBSD mood and the current OpenLDAP implementation on Ubuntu is way too complex for a simple setup I decided to stay with the red daemon.
A small rant:
In the 90's I started working with Novell Directory Services/eDirectory up until version 8.8 a few years ago. Did some LDAP work on Active Directory. Had Mac OSX clients authenticate to eDirectory and AD even with drive mappings etc.. It was not always easy but we got there..... It's 2012 now, then why do I have to enter several unreadable CLI commands (yep even unreadable for an experienced linux user) in Ubuntu just to add a Samba schema. I'm certainly not afraid of CLI but this is not the 80's anymore. If you're able to write create an ubercomplex configsystem, like the one found in the current Ubuntu-version, you're also able to write a decent tool to manage it!!
First I created a FreeBSD setup as I described earlier (up until the installation of my favourite tools). After FreeBSD was installed I continued with OpenLDAP.
