RE: 802.1x, Computers, Wired Security

Hello Miles,

Here is what I have done...


On my WinXP SP3 client I stopped using the MS XPSP3 suplicant and installed
the Open1X supplicant. I made sure everything is working properly and it is.
The thing with the Open1X suplicant is that I can hardcode user credentials
it is so that the computer is already authenticated (and put in the proper
VLAN) before the user is presented with the logon prompt. This works well
because computer scripts and user scripts run. I don't like the hardcoding of
usernames/passwords, but this is a good test to show that IDM and my switch
appear to be working correctly and that I now need to focus my efforts on the
Microsoft side of the house.

I then uninstall the Open1X suplicant and am back to the issue of the
computer not being in the correct VLAN before the user is at the logon
prompt. Once the user enters in the username/password they are put in the
correct VLAN, but at this point it's too late and the user logon scripts
don't run.

How can I use the MS supplicant and have the computer in the proper VLAN
prior to user logon?

Thanks!
