I would like to confirm if multiauth is available on the SG500X switches.  I did not see anything in documentation, assuming its not supported on these switches.  Would like to confirm, thank you.

look at the Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switches Command Line Interface Reference Guide, Release 1.4
(valid for Sx500 series, so I guess also for SG500x switch)

 

2.10 dot1x host-mode
     Use the dot1x host-mode Interface Configuration mode command

     to allow a single host (client) or multiple hosts on an IEEE 802.1X-authorized port.

     Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.
Syntax
     dot1x host-mode {multi-host | single-host | multi-sessions}
Parameters

   • multi-host—Enable multiple-hosts mode.

   • single-host—Enable single-hosts mode.

   • multi-sessions—Enable multiple-sessions mode

So, it appeared that we were running old firmware, which was causing an issue.  Once i updated the firmware, and enabled multi-sessions mode on the port, I was able to authenticate (RADIUS/802.1X) for multiple users/devices coming through the same port etc.  Marking pieterh's answer as the solution, thanks all.
