Hi Steve,

Never tried dot1x on our wired connections. We just use Packetfence to do MAB 
authentication on the wired connection level and it works awesome. Before 
packetfence I manually had to setup all ports and field techs called me 
constantly to switch vlans for them. Since I configured packetfence I have 
setup that field technicians can approve devices on the fly themselves and 
packetfence configures the port for them. I’m no longer in the middle 
configuring ports. Right now I’m trying to do the same with wireless but that 
requires dot1x to work with WPA2/AES networks. MAB works fine on the wireless 
just not the dot1x in our network. I think I have it working though using 
packetfence for MAB and Windows 2008 NPS for dot1x. I am using the filter-id 
field in NPS to filter roles on the Aruba wireless and it appears to work while 
Packetfence drops clients into the correct vlan.

Hi Jeremy

I'm currently setting up PF and so far have only tested wired connection.

So far I have it just using Internal sources and the PF server isn't joined to 
my domain. I've not fully tested the dot1x yet but it is working via MAC 
addresses.

I'm wondering if I'm missing a step with not joining the PF server to my domain.

Kind regards,

Just seeing if I can get some clarification on setting up  dot1x wireless 
authentication in Packetfence. Worked on this for a while a few months back but 
hit a road block. I was able to get Packetfence server to join our AD domain 
and my account would work with test utility to authenticate but would fail 
mschap authentication when I connect to our wireless. After reading 
documentation I think I may have been missing adding our AD in as an internal 
source. When you are connecting to an SSID with packetfence it goes by your 
internal sources in order for dot1x authentication correct? I only had on OU 
added into internal sources to allow for Web admin access to restrict who could 
login. I think I need to add an overall AD source without Webadmin access then 
added conditions and rules for role access.
