#15
port access control and 802.1X
Posted by e5z8652 on Sat 18 Apr 2009 at 01:09
We're considering moving to an 802.1X environment on our network. The XP clients all have 802.1X supplicants built in, and we'll probably leverage our active directory machine accounts. If needed, I can create accounts for Debian machines that are not already joined to the domain.
What Debian packages are available for this? xsupplicant has been removed. I see some indications that network-manager supports 802.1X, but all of the documentation implies wireless connections. (Maybe because that is just how most people use network-manager.) The same goes for wpa_supplicant -- it appears to be a workable solution, but all of the examples are in a wireless setup.
Does anyone have Debian servers/desktops working in an 802.1X environment?
