    Posted Jul 05, 2019 04:08 AM

    Hi all,

     

    we are doing 802.1x for Windows using both machine and user auth. We need to do the same scenerio for Linux as well. User auth ok but I cannot grab machine auth role (even request) from Linux anyway (logout&login, reboot laptop, everything tried). Is there any way to do this? No documents have been found.

    Machine Auth is a Windows construct.

    Thanks for reply, Tim. Do you know how they act when client logged out? Might Linux not need to send authentication request again? I have tested for a few Linux and seen they stayed connected even if logged out. This is general behavior for every version of Linux according to your experience?

    Yes, it's generally a system level config.
