On my MBP, I have two accounts, my main account and the "clean" account. (To simulate being a "normal" user, or for debugging purposes.)
The "clean" account has no trouble connecting to my company WiFi, which uses a radius server. I'm not sure of the exact WiFi settings, but I could look it up in it really matters.
My normal account can't connect to the server, in a really bizarre way. Every time I attempt to connected, it goes through the following steps
-
Asks for a user name and password, as if I hadn't previously asked to store them.
-
Asks me to import the certificate for the radius server, as if I can't see it list in Keychain Access. Among existing keys to use to use for the connection, it only lists my Developer Certificate keys.
-
After going through all that and possibly entering my network username and password one more time, the WiFi bars in the status area are all lit up as if I'm connected. However, if you look at the network list underneath it, you see the indefinite progress indicator percolating next to the network name instead of WiFi bars, and I don't actually have access.
-
After a while of that (at least 30 seconds if not longer), the situation flips. The bars next to the network name in the drop-down become sold active color, as if I'm connecting, but the WiFi bars in the status area start moving up and down as if connecting. I still have no network.
-
Eventually, it disconnects, and reverts to whatever other network it can find.
If I login to both accounts, connect from the "clean" account, and then fast user switch to my main account, the network disconnects. I don't know if that's a feature or a bug.
Does anybody have any ideas on what could be going wrong and how to fix it? Or even ideas and how to debug what it's doing while spinning like crazy at me?
Thanks!
