Hi Alan,

Would it be right to say that a RADIUS server in 802.1X authentication
allows a client to be authenticated but can not unauthenticate a
authenticated client and let the AP(Nas) know about this
unauthentication. I guess it comes down to RADIUS server responds to
clients but does not initiate talking to clients.

So, if I log on with my XP laptop through 802.1X successfully and then a
few minutes later, the system admin logged off all users (including me)
with the intent to force reauthentications.  But, my laptop thinks it's
still authenticated and logged in. Is there a way from the RADIUS server
to notify the client so, the client detects it's unauthenticated and
tries to start 802.1X session again.  Otherwise, I would need to
disassociate and associate again.

Thanks,
Htin
