Deploying FreeRadius against eDirectory coming soon.

Current Project: integrating Cisco Wireless Lan controller with Novell eDirectory

Status: Cisco Wireless Lan Controller hooks into FreeRadius that authenticates users against eDirectory. Single Sign on into eDirectory currently works with issues.

Issues: During login of 802.x across the wifi, the user is granted access into eDirectory, this happens quicker than the user gets an IP address. This means the users are not getting drive mappings or the container login script to run. About 5 seconds after login the user gets an IP address and can login a second time.

Schema extensions: none
Radius Server: SLES10sp2 X86_64
eDirectory/LDAP server: same SLES10sp2 X86_64 server
Client: Novell Client 4.91sp4 on WindowsXp
