Configure IAS and the APs
Now that you've configured your wireless clients, you're ready to configure your IAS server and APs. On the IAS server, you need to define a remote access policy that links WLAN authentication requests to a requirement for certificate-based 802.1x authentication. You also need to create RADIUS client records for each of the APs on your WLAN. To create the remote access policy, open the MMC Internet Authentication Service snap-in and select the Remote Access Policies folder. Right-click in the details pane and select New Remote Access Policy. Click Next on the first page of the New Remote Access Policy Wizard. On the next page, select Use the wizard to set up a typical policy for a common scenario, enter WLAN Access for Domain Computers as the name of the remote access policy, and click Next. On the Access Method page, select Wireless to set up the remote access policy with the necessary RADIUS criteria to recognize WLAN authentication requests and apply this policy to those requests. Click Next. . . .
