Hello everybody,
I've just installed FreeNAS 9.10 and have created a encrypted Z-Volume. Everything works just fine.
Now I want to plug the server into a network which requires 802.1x authentication. I'm very new to BSD so I've read some sites and it seems to work with wpa_supplicant (http://mini-it-world.blogspot.de/2013/03/freebsd-9-authenticate-to-8021x-wired.html ). I've logged into the console, and it seems that wpa_supplicant is not installed by default. I've read, that I should not install packaged directly to the system and should use jails for this but as I understand it correctly, the jails are installed on the encrypted Z-Volume, so even if I will get it running and the machine will get restarted, the machine will lose the access to the jail and can not access the network. This also means I can not unlock the encrypted volume (In the final setup, I don't have physical access to the server).
Is there any clean way to connect the server to an 802.1x Network?
It would be great if you can help me.
Regards
Marove
