OT: Windows 8 beta supplicant always prefixes computer name to user name
Hi all, sorry, this is much OT. As many, we do PEAP with the help of ntlm_auth, both wired and wireless. Today, my first Windows 8 user walked in, wanting to do wired 802.1X. Setting things exactly as in Windows 7 results in the computer name always showing up as (pseudo-)domain in the authentication dialog. It's visible, but not changable. Subsequently, what I see in the server is (real names replaced): rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host 192.168.4.249 port 1645, id=98, length=161 User-Name = "PCNAME\\username" Service-Type = Framed-User Framed-MTU = 1500 Called-Station-Id = "00-11-BB-A7-94-8D" Calling-Station-Id = "F0-BF-97-D1-97-53" EAP-Message = 0x02010011014d455048495c426162616569 Message-Authenticator = 0x882ea6dd7bcb0c978b71d1da77ce7753 NAS-Port-Type = Ethernet NAS-Port = 50211 NAS-Port-Id = "FastEthernet2/0/11" NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.4.249 username is not Windows' local username, cf. last part of http://www.uni-marburg.de/hrz/internet/students/swh-en/anleitung-en/vista-un...

Hi everyone, just for the records: Thanks to Aman and Matthew for providing me with potential workarounds (by PM). Aman says:
This has been fixed after beta but the way to go about it is add a "\" before the username. Matthew says: Just to let you know we have also seen this (although we tested with wireless not wired).
We have found that if you put an '@realm' on the end of the username, windows will remove the host\\ from the start.
Interestingly enough, none of these worked. We finally managed to get wpa_supplicant for Windows to run in Windows 7 compatibility mode, authentication was successful then -- but did not trigger a subsequent DHCP request. Could do this manually, of course, but the user at this point realized he needs his machine for work not play and reverted to Windows 7 ... Thanks a lot to everyone trying to help out Martin -- Dr. Martin Pauly Phone: +49-6421-28-23527 HRZ Univ. Marburg Fax: +49-6421-28-26994 Hans-Meerwein-Str.
