I really wish the original EAP-TLS specification had had some support for passing passwords across the TLS session. Certificates are great, but so few places provided them, and everyone who wants to easily support Windows 7 machines on the WPA2-Enterprise system has to store plaintext passwords on the server to support MSCHAP-V2.
EAP-TTLS finally did solve that problem, but with Windows 8. When Windows 7 finally dies, one of the first things I'm going to do is discard the plaintext passwords in my authentication databases.
- mygo 9y agoYou store plaintext passwords? Interesting... where do you work? What’s your tech stack? Oh and what’s your name? ...
