Alright, I'm going to step back and talk conceptually. The issue is that the laptops use a combination of LDAP and Kerberos to authenticate to the Domain Controllers. (OpenLDAP and a Kerberos KDC.) to authorize and authenticate Humans. So you get a Chicken/Egg issue. You can't authenticate Humans until you authenticate nodes, but a Human could not enter MS-CHAPv2 passwords wothout logging in. I want to be able to assign a Certificate to a Host, as long as the Host carries the certificate, it can talk on the network. The Cert should be individualized to each host. So, I'd like to be able give a host a cert, and then let them use the network so they can login with User/Password. I have a working CA now.
