Here at Rice, we've got over 7,000 wireless users a day (All Cisco LWAPP's);
and as of right now, only 1 entry for "com.apple." as a Client User Name.
It's on our Visitor (no auth) network.

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.

Not quite sure what to make of this yet. 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?
