Any idea why "Authentication using computer" is failing for PEAP?

[ratisiddu]

Hi,

When "Authentication using computer" is selected in Windows XP (SP1 and SP2) client, authentication are failing for EAP type - Protected EAP (PEAP).

The server log is showing " No password found in the request,” indicating during challenge/response, XP client is not sending password in its response.

Since authentication will be done during computer boot up, I am not getting how to store the machine password, I assume machine will use admin password by default.

I order to send admin password during machine authentication, do I need to store admin credentials? If that is the case where and how?

Other than this do I need to do any other setup at XP client and AAA Server side?

Did any one face similar problem?

Best wishes,

Siddu

The computer authentication only applies to machines that are made part of a Windows Domain. The computer account and password that you are referring to are created at domain join time. The machine password is not normally accessible to change or modify, and if you did you would no longer be part of the domain.
