Hi. I have a customer who wants to perform 802.1x machine authentication only to prevent users connecting there own devices to the corporate network. The machine credentials will be authenticated via Cisco ACS which will proxy the authentication to ActiveDirectory. If successful, the 802.1x assigns the port to a VLAN. At this point, the port is 'opened up' and the user can recieve an IP address and can then login to the domain as normal (AD username/password) via the network login screen. Is this a workable solution?
I basically want the end user to not notice anything new, but 802.1x operates in the background to authenticate the machine before displaying the network login box. To the user, the PC boots and displays the login box and they login as normal :-) If they bring in their own device, it will fail 802.1x machine authentication and will not get any access.
Has anyone implemented this? Is it a feasible design?
Thanks
Darren
