When using PEAP, you should use the inner Id, not the outer ID. It is the inner 
ID that authenticates. The Outer ID is generally used for proxy decisions, but 
otherwise may be set to anything.

(Caution: possible typos ahead!)

My FreeRADIUS book suggests comparing the inner & outer IDs. If they are 
different, copy the inner ID to the outer ID.

In sites-enabled/inner-tunnel file, at the top of the post-auth section
if (outer.request:User-Name != "%{request:User-Name}" {
        update-reply {
                 User-Name := "%{request:User-Name}"
        }
}

Edit eap.conf and change to use_tunneled_reply = yes

Restart FreeRADIUS

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.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Strange Apple 802.1x Client Names

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?
