Hello Stuart,

Just getting started with PacketFence and am struggling with something.

So I'm using a Cisco SG300 as my test switch, and it does both 802.1x and MAC address authentication (MAB).

I'm finding that once I get authenticated using 802.1x credentials I can then pop around to other switch ports and get through without needing to provide credentials again (I assume because the MAC address is authenticated?).

You need to check if when you unplug/plug packetfence receive a new radius request.

If it's not the case then it's not normal.

Also you need to see what kind of authentication is made each time, is it 802.1x or mac auth ?


This is fine, however when I set the device to unauthorized, I don't receive a prompt for username/password again. I believe what happens is the MAC gets sent first, PacketFence then sets the request as Accept, but unregistered so sends it to the appropriate VLAN, and on the switch the state is Authenticated (as PacketFence technically authenticated it?).

It depend how you configured packetfence, if you enable autoregistration for 802.1x then probably your device keep the credential and retry with them to authenticate.

If fact you need to provide more information about your pf config, like do you register on a portal / do you autoregister, do you have a connection profile per connection type ?

If you can resume your config it will help to understand what happen exactly.

Thanks

Regards

Not sure if this makes sense.

Ideally a device would do 802.1x by default, then fall back to MAB if needed.
