I have a problem with an AD lookup which is driving me nuts.
We are using maschine certificates for authentication and AD-groups for authorization policies.
We don't have any problems with Windows devices.
Now we are trying to include an Apple OS X device (native supplicant) and it doesn't work.
The certificates validation is successfull but afterwards the ISE tries an AD lookup for a user with the maschine name instead of a maschine lookup.
The only difference in the radius request ist the radius-username.
In case of Windows it's like host/maschine and in case of OS X the host is missing.
So my guess is that the host/ part is needed by ISE to recongnize the request as a maschine authentication.
The problem ist that I can't find a possibility to force the OS X supplicant to add this part.
Can anyone give me a hint how to configure the OS X supplicant correctly?
Solved! Go to Solution.

The issue is due to the Windows client prepends a "host/" in front of the name on the certificate and the Macintosh client does not. This is known issue with MAC clients when performing machine authentication with eap-tls.
One of my colleague created a doc for the same, please review the doc and check if it helps.

Is this document still available? I think it could bring me closer to resolving my problems. Can it be somehow provided again?
