hello

This question isnt specific to freeradius, but I think there could be
members on this list, who experienced the same problem. Here we go:

We have windows xp clients running sp2 and securew2 as 802.1x clients,
which are connected to different nortel baystacks 5510/5520 or cisco
catalyst switches. The authentification against freeradius works fine,
if I choose securew2 in the network connection properties tab. But when
we move the client to another switch, which is unknown to this specific
client, the client no longer authenticates. Windows tries to be smart
and sets the authentication method back to smartcard :( For a standard
workstation, that doesnt roam often, this isnt a problem. But for our
notebook users.

In order to solve this problem, we examined the registry to find the
location, where windows keeps track of known switches. There is a list
of the switches in the eapol folder in the registry, where it stores the
authentification method, the password, the securew2 profile name, etc
for each known switch. But we didnt find any hint, where it stores the
default authentification method...

Is there a way to set securew2 as the default authentification method,
even for an unknown switch/nas?

thanks in advance for any help...

Carsten
