Hi there -
I finally figured out how to get around my problem authenticating Windows
8.1 users to our 802.1x network.
Two settings need to be adjusted in the wireless network. The following
steps work for us:
1 - Connect to 802.1X network. (You will automatically connect, using
computer credentials)
2 - right-click on your task-bar wifi icon, and open Network and Sharing
Center
3 - Click on the Connections wifi connection on upper right
4 - Select wireless properties
5 - Select Security Tab
6 - Select the Microsoft PEAP Settings button
7 - Select Secured Password (EAP-MSCHAP-V2) Configure Button
*8 - UNCHECK "Automatically use my Windows login name and password (and
domain if any)*
9 - Select OK, Select OK.
10 - Select Advanced Settings on Security tab
*11 - Specify authentication mode : User Authentication*
12 - Select OK and OK.
13 - Reconnect to your 802.1x wireless network. You will be prompted for a
username and password, be authenticated, authorized and correctly connect.
This is the workaround I've found. It works for us.
Has anyone had similar experiences with this issue? Or is there something
that is not quite right in my packetfence installation that causes this
problem.
