Hi,
Not too sure anybody out there can advise me on this?
Objective: Ensure that the corporate user must use his valid AD user account and authorised machine to enter the corporate network.
To achieve the above objective, what I can think of is to use the user authentication and machine authentication via 802.1x to validate the user and machine credential.
For user authentication, I think it shall be quite straightforward.
However I am not very cleared on the machine authentication configuration.
Issuing certificate on the machine is definitely one of the ways to validate the machine, but I tried to avoid this method as it will be a major operation concern to deploy and manage the certificates.
From what I had read, the most basic machine authentication is to ensure that the machine is pre-registered to the AD and assigned it to the machine group which will thereafter assign to the NPS policy. During the machine authentication, the valid machine must send his machine hostname and generated SID to match the radius policy.
can anybody advise is this the appropriate way, and any configuration guide on this approach?
P.S : Using Server 2008, and vista clients
regards
