[Resolved] FAU Guest RADIUS Server Modification
It worked!
Thank you Rhian for that arcane wizardry you create at a computer and thank you Help Desk for finding the problem!
Thank you,
Middleware
…
The FAU Guest Wireless Network is experiencing issues with authentication on Courtesy accounts that reside solely in Active Directory. We are about to implement a change and restart the RADIUS server. Downtime should be less than one second, and we can revert immediately if things go horribly wrong… but do not fret… they won’t, as we have tested in test.
We will make a follow-up post once the change has been made, which should be in about two minutes.
Thank you in advance,
Middleware
