Is there any way of sending a Reply-Message is the current scenario? I'm using a Cisco 350 series access point and FreeRadius version 0.7. I'm using a custom 802.1x supplicant for Windows 2000, but the behaviour seems to be the same. I'm using the Reply-Mesasge attribute to send a EAP-Notification. Just a simple plain text message, that pops ups as a EAP-Notification window on the client side. The problem I'm having is that, client gets authenticated and then the notification window pops up. Till here its ok, but then I get a access-reject message from the server and the client gets de-authenticated. This happens almost immediatelty after the notification message pops up. Any ideas why this is so. What are the sequence of messages that are exchanged for the 'reply-message' attribute?

Thanks,
Sachin Mody
