Points to Note when using the WX1200 and WX4400

Computer authentication also requires specific con-
figuration considerations on the WX switch:

The username of a computer authentication con-
nection will be in the form of host/fully-quali-
fied-domain-name, for example 
host/bob-laptop.3Com.com or host/tac1-lap-
top.support.3Com.com. This username is the same 
regardless of the configured protocol 
(PEAP-MS-CHAP-V2 or EAP-TLS). An appropriate 
userglob would be host/*.domain.com where 
domain.com is the Active Directory domain name. 
Alternatively, in a smaller deployment you could 
use a userglob of ** and have both user and com-
puter authentication go to the same RADIUS 
server.

PEAP-MS-CHAP-V2 offload mode is not supported 
with computer authentication. You must use 
pass-through 802.1x authentication policies with 
computer authentication.

AAA

The following table lists the AAA servers and configu-
rations that have been tested with MSS. Tests were 
performed to a local user database in most cases, and 
additionally to Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP 
with specific protocols as noted in the table. The tests 
were initially performed using Dynamic WEP, though 
subsequent testing has revealed no noticeable differ-
ences in RADIUS compatibility when using WPA.

A result of Pass indicates that the combination is sup-
ported by MSS. A result of NA (Not Applicable) indi-
cates that the RADIUS server tested does not support 
the feature. A result of Fail indicates that the RADIUS 

server does not interoperate with MSS for that fea-
ture. A result of NT (Not Tested) indicates that the fea-
ture was not tested.

RADIUS Testing notes

Single-Sign-On is defined 

as clients being able to use the same username and 
password for 802.1X authentication that they use to
