Security

I am testing 802.1x configuration with an Aruba 6300M and Clearpass authentication/authorization.  I have that connection working with DUR.  However, I'm trying to authenticate the machine rather than the user signed into the machine.  I can't figure out a way to prevent the switch from sending a new authentication request when a user logs into the machine.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

In the 802.1x configuration for that network under advanced, you need to make sure it is "computer authentication":
