Summary

Summary

The Microsoft WLAN is a secure wireless network that uses a combination of IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.1X, EAP-TLS certificate-based authentication, RADIUS, certificates, and Active Directory. The wireless clients run Windows XP, and the servers for the certificate and authentication infrastructure run Windows Server 2003. Computer certificates are deployed to wireless computers using autoenrollment. User certificates and Windows XP wireless configuration information is deployed to wireless computers through an internal Web site and a CAPICOM script. The RADIUS infrastructure uses a combination of RADIUS servers and proxies to load balance and route RADIUS traffic for different Active Directory forests.
