Hi,

in RADIUS you really should use a closed-loop system - eg your own CA
to stop any possible contamination by external trusted CA systems
and bad supplicants.
I absolutely agree, but I was under the impression that in UK people were using SCS certificates for eduroam Radius servers. I also heard some opinions that not not making the user to add the CA is really helping. I have also seen phones which had been blocked by the GSM operator so that you could not add a new CA.

we let the users choose. PEAP/MSCHAPv2 or EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2  (well, only
2 options, but its still a choice! ;-) )
For UNIX based systems MSCHAPv2 can be a problem, of course. At my place, users can only change their passwords through a WEB interface. This generates both the MD5 hash for the UNIX systems and NT--Hash for MSCHAPv2 and stores them in LDAP. Some people say that one should just store plain-text passwords in LDAP, I am not a fan of this.
