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
