WPA2 - Received RSN IE with 0 PMKIDs from mobile

Hello All,

I have a problem with roaming between Access Points Our setup uses RSA Tokens over Radius.

Client can connect properly, but when he roams to another AP, then the reauthentication is required again. To me it seems, that Intel PROSet client doesn't cache PMKIDs properly in RSN IE.

This is what I see in my logs on WLC:

I've tested also supplicant from Juniper and there it works fine.

My version of Intel PROSet is latest 13.4

Any ideas?

I'm having this exact same problem. According to Cisco, Intel Proset does not support PKC. Juniper does (which you and I have both tested) but that does not help me much as we're not going to pay for a wifi client.

Any one know if Intel is going to support PKC?

Thanks god for you, I started to thought that I'm only one on whole planet ...

No idea ... I've opened a ticket at Intel side, filled a form and since that time no answer regarding this issue.

My latest findings was also that Juniper Odyssey Client has the same problem on Windows 7 as this is not natively supported by Microsoft (or at leasts this was the answer from Juniper support and they cannot do much about it).
