Topic: Radius walkthrough for SME 7.2?

[SME4ever]

Hi,
I've been searching and found this (as well as some other stuff):

The framework is already in place for radius.  In order to use it please define the client host in hostnames and addresses.

Once you have done this then you need to define the shared radius key for that host.  You can do this with the following command:

db hosts setprop {full hostname} RadiusKey {random string of characters}
signal-event remoteaccess-update

ex.

db hosts setprop wireless.mydomain.com RadiusKey abcdefg123456789
signal-event remoteaccess-update

After this I'd go to the device defined by wireless.mydomain.com and point to the internal interface ip for the server and enter the same key.

I've successfully implemented 802.1x (WPA) for many different access points this way.  Auth parameters are for PEAP-MSCHAP2.  Any defined user with a valid password should be allowed to authenticate.

BUT maybe I'm missin' something - can't simply get it to work.
I have SME 7.2 in serverMode, all official opdates, no tweaks - AP-500 accesspoint, only wap and radius auth capable - Laptop with wifi. There could be a lot of wrong's so maybe it's better to ask if someone would write a complete walkthrough for Server-AP-Laptop. I know there is a LOT of docs out there, but that's just confusing 'cause it's not the SME-way.
Please someone.

PS: Is it impossible to create a SME-panel for radius? Would be a GREAT feature!

You know, I'm having the same problem. 

There's only two things I can think of that could be wrong.  Either 1) The radius server is blocked from non-local requests, or 2) My laptop setup is incorrect.  Anyone know a walkthrough for setting up/accessing a laptop?

Yiiiiiiha! I did it!
All by myself - learning by doing.
