Windows XP Built-in
Client
The RADIUS client shipped with Windows XP has a security issue which affects the
port authentication operation. If the RADIUS client is configured to use EAP-MD5,
after a user logs-off, then the next user to log-on will remain authorized with the
original user’s credentials. This occurs because the Microsoft client does not
generate an EAPOL-Logoff message when the user logs-off, which leaves the port
authorized. To reduce the impact of this issue, decrease the "session-timeout"
return list attribute to force re-authentication of the port more often. Alternatively,
use a RADIUS client without this security flaw, for example the Aegis client
A patch for the Windows XP RADIUS client may be available from Microsoft since
publishing this guide.
Aegis Client Installation The Aegis Client is a standards-based implementation of IEEE 802.1X and supports
many different encrypted algorithms such as MD5. It works on different Windows
