Re: Authentication with Novell 802.1x client fails but WinXP supplicant works fine ?

continue it's login process. Based on the RADIUSD logs, I'm not getting a proper PEAP authentication at the Novell login prompt stage. Once this stage times out and I log in locally to the WinXP workstation, the PEAP authentication works fine. The timeout error is: 802.1x Authentication Failed. Timeout waiting for authentication to finish. Logging to workstation only. <OK>


From the logs, the Novell client simply stops sending data:

...assuming you mean "that's where FR stops" as opposed to "that's where I stopped copying text from the log".

As you can see, FreeRadius is working fine - it sends an access challenge, but the supplicant stops responding to the conversation. You'll need to examine the supplicant to find out why
