Re: Looking for Captive Portal Authentication Product

Hi Tony,



For a variety of reasons we are now committed to the Juniper solutions.
It's a relatively new product for them so I have some reservations.  I'll
let know how it goes for us.

Greg,



We currently use Cisco Clean Access for this. It authenticates against our
radius which is backed against an LDAP. Unfortunately, we are a layer-2
campus which means that our authentication is primarily through MAC (not the
fault of the CCA, just our current choices for campus authentication).



So far I am quite pleased with the technology. What I'm not pleased with is
the cost. Let me know what you discover on the Juniper and any other
technologies. We would be very interested in your experiences.



Thanks!



Tony

Portland Community College is looking for a Captive Portal authentication
solution that uses LDAP.  We intend to use this solution for wireless
authentication initially and may also use it for the wired ports at some
point in the future.  We are seriously considering the new Juniper Infranet
Controller 4000 (IC4000) Appliance in conjunction with SSG 140 Enforcer
Appliance.  Does anyone have experience with this product?  Thanks.
