Domain login problem with dot1x authenticaion

[rezaalikhani]

I am working in company that uses 802.1x Authentication Protocol for wired network by using Cisco Switches. As you know when we use this feature, users logging to concerned Network are asked to enter their user names and passwords. I mean after any system startup at first should login to domain but it cant beacuse it could not connect to network befor 802.1x authentication.

How can I solve this problem?

Hi,

Machine authentication is the solution for such issue.

If you are using PEAP in 802.1x, then refer to this link for machine authentication configuration,

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2086/products_configuration_example09186a0080545a29.shtml

Go for section "Machine Authentication Supplement"

If you are doing EAP-TLS 802.1x
