We've had 30 clients since late November which have used an outer ID of com.apple.systemdefault at one point or another. It seems in all cases to have been an isolated instance, and none of them successfully authenticated during that session. All but one of those MACs has been on the network successfully using a different outer ID since that failed attempt.

If anyone is running an 802.1x secure wireless network, can you search your wireless management systems for wireless clients called either of these: com.apple.kerberos.kdc com.apple.systemdefault we have a handful of these that are authenticating as valid user names in our Cisco wireless/ACS environment. We only auth against AD, and we typically see a mix of "real" usernames in log that will somehow correlate to these, but at the same time it's weird that these funky names are showing as valid usernames both in the WLAN system and in ACS. Web searching shows that these are some kerfuffle to do with obsolete keychain certs in the Apple OS. Wild and weird- anyone been here before? -Lee Badman ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at <http://www.educause.edu/groups/> http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
