Philippe: IIRC, there was an issue with some RADIUS servers that was causing the supplicant not to prompt the user to enter their new password. Is that your concern?

All, How do you deal with 802.1x (eg: WPA2 EAP-PEAP) when: - your campus has a 6 months password change policy and - your email and 802.1x are sharing the same password (AD or LDAP) and - your users are storing the password on the supplicant and - those users don't realize that when they change their password they have to change their supplicant password as well? Experience, thoughts? Do you have a lot of calls in your help desk related to this? If you had this issue how did you solve it?
