We do something like this with laptops. The machines are a member of a domain and have a group policy set that "Authentication Mode" is User or Computer authentication. Then on the radius server (Microsoft IAS) we have a rule for computers and a rule for domain users. When the laptop is first turned on it auth's as the computer account. When the user logs in it re-auths as the user account.

Well ideally, the scenario we’d like is:

Computer boots up to login screen. User logs in, and is at that point (or 
earlier) connected/authenticated to wifi by way of
having authenticated the computer and the user credentials. At that point, 
login scripts and whatnot are able to run as the
windows OS loads.

I’m sure this is not a unique situation. Is anyone else doing something similar?

 

Thanks

computer?

 

Reading this technet page it looks like you can specify a condition of the 
computer being in a Machine Group and User being in
User Group. I'm not an AD guy, so I don't understand the difference between the 
two groups, but as I recall different condition
types are evaluated with an AND, so in theory you could do it that way. I'm 
interested in this as well, but haven't had time to
play with it.

Hello


We have Cisco 5508 controllers using Microsoft 2008r2 radius back-end. What 
we’d like to do is authenticate the device (make sure
it is a domain PC) as well as the user (make sure they are a domain user). From 
what I can tell, it seems like we can do 1 or the
other, but not both. It may be possible with a different Radius server from 
what I’ve read (Cisco ACS seems to have a wizard for
this), but I’m wondering if anyone is doing this today using MSoft’s radius 
server?

 

Any info you can provide is appreciated.

 

Thanks
