Greetings,
we are running here a WPA2-Enterprise secure wireless configuration. The authentication method in use is PEAP. Certificates are disabled. MSCHAPv2 is configured to prompt for a username and password. This configuration works perfectly well for *any* Windows version up to 8.0, Apple OSX clients and Linux boxes.
Windows 8.1 in this configuration does not connect successfully. Looking in the WLAN Autoconfig logs shows, that it succeeds the network association, then starts wireless security, starts 802.1x authentication, restarts 802.1x authentication, succeeds 802.1x authentication and stops wireless secrutiy. This cycle is repeated 8 times and finally results in an error with ID 8002, Failure Reason: The operation was cancelled.
Checking the logs on the radius server (FreeRadius 2.0.4) shows, that there are eight authentication requests coming in, which are authenticated correctly.
The problem is persistent to every 8.1 machine we had so far. Any hints that point in a solution to this issue is highly welcome.
Helmut
