Hi there,

        I *think* I've stumbled across a possible bug.  Or, rather,
definitely something that I think is behaving improperly.

        First the requisite profile :

Packetfence 4.0.6
RHEL 6.x
LDAP authentication
Mixed 802.1x and MAB

        We're experimenting with 802.1x now and, since Windows is wonderfully
braindead, we find ourselves having to use machine authentication
along with user authentication.  When the machine it turned on, it
machine auths automagically.  After a username/pass is entered, the
system tries to log into the domain (Samba, not AD) and then logs into
802.1x if the domain login is a success.

        All of this works.  The problem is on boot and/or on logout.  In both
cases, the machine does an automatic machine auth.  It's successful,
and the proper role/vlan is sent to the switch, but the role for that
MAC address in packetfence is not updated.  So, if 802.1x is somehow
disabled, MAB puts them into the "authenticated" user role instead of
leaving them in the "unauthenticated" machine role.

        This doesn't feel right.  Shouldn't the role for the MAC be updated
based on the rule matching in packetfence?

Thanks,
