Authorized MAC users stopped authenticating

Hi Alan,

I blew away all my configs, and running vanilla 3.0.13 from yum install.  I
am using out-of-the-box configs, and created users and clients file.  I
created certificate files, and I also tested with eapol_test


I can authenticate with windows 10 client with no issues at this point.  I
created certificates based on README instructions with new install, and
verified that I can connect with eap_test using ttls-eap-mschapv2 and
others (ttls-pap)...

At this point, I would like to lock down the authentication so that either
the client cert is required, or authorized MAC.  I did configure the
authorized mac previously which was working, but stopped working, and I
think the reason it stopped working prior had nothing to do with the MAC
configs, but because the CA/CERTs I created expired.  They are not expired
now since I created them with a new EXPIRE date, but what is happening is
that the clients/supplicant I am testing with can authenticate without the
root/client certs installed.  I would rather authenticate with
certificates, and not rely on authorized MACs at this point...

Can you point me in the direction of how to configure the radius server to
only authenticate if the client certificate is installed?

Thanks I'm advance...

-Rob

  It may be good then to disable EAP.  Especially if you're not using it.

  If the RADIUS server did't change, then something else did.

  Is this user supposed to be doing EAP?  If so, fix your configuration to
allow EAP and MAC auth.

  If not... talk to the user and ask him what he thinks he's doing.

  You can't do this for EAP.

  Your "allow MAC auth" rule has to check for EAP, too.  i.e. do:

        authorized_macs
        if (!ok) {
                reject  # reject unauth MACs, even if they do EAP
        }

        if (!EAP-Message) {
                update control {
                        Auth-Type := Accept
                }
        }

  Exactly.  The default configuration doesn't have this error.  So it's
something you added locally.

  Is the user supposed to be doing PEAP?
