Machine Authentication for Mac OSX

beausoleilb1

Level 1

I am setting up a new secured WLAN using PEAP and machine authentication.  I can get the Windows clients to perform machine auth, but the Macintosh machines in the domain do not pass machine authentication.  Any thoughts on how to fix this?  Do Macs fail in this area? Is there a  workaround for this to limit access to the WLAN for only machines in the domain if you do not use machine auth?  EAP-TLS is not a feasible endevor at this date and time.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

you say that Mac fail the machine authentication. Can you be more specific about the failure reason ? What radius server are you using ? What is the error reason for the Mac ?

Nicolas

It appears that not even 10.6.5 (Snow Leopard) supports machine authentication. You will have to use mac-auth bypass or certificate authentication.

Brian is using Cisco ACS 5.1 as a radius server and is doing machine auth based simply on whether or not the machine is joined to the domain.
