Internet connect: Exporting 802.1x config to login window

Hi,
We are trying to setup our macbooks to login to our wireless network by authenticating against active directory. I've followed all the steps in the following article
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303471
but as far as I can see internet connect is failing to export the 802.1x config to the login window as nothing is being added to the com.apple.loginwindow plist file and the login doesn't work.
Has anyone managed to do this?
Does anyone know the setting to manually add to the com.apple.loginwindow file to make it work?
Thanks

I am having the same problem at my university network. I believe it has something to do with this part of the article you quoted:
"Once configured, when a network user enters their user name and password at the Mac OS X login window, the system attempts to connect to the 802.1X network with the same user name and password. This connection is necessary to authenticate the user to a network server."
It's not perfectly clear, but it seems the username and password for the 802.1X connection must match the username and password at login. Lame, if you ask me.
I'm also having a different problem on my network: My wife and I have separate accounts on our Mac, and every time we switch between users the 802.1X disconnects for some reason. Very annoying, but I guess it has something to do with a genuine user authentication - not a computer authentication, if that makes sense.

  • Anyone using 802.1x credentials from login window

    I have created a multitude of mobile configs in profile manager(server) but cannot get it to pass the user credentials from the login window in the dot1x reply to an identify, it always uses the machine name.  Has anyone done this ? Windows does it fine(machine credentials when no one logged on and username/password when they log on) and from what I can glean online it looks like it should be doable. It also looks like I ought to be able to use the domain\userid format when logging on but it doesn't seem to recognize that - traces show no activity(dot1x or ldap) when used.

  • HT4772 Is there a way to connect to 802.1X wirelessly before login?

    Users need to query AD before login but can not do so because it can't connect to the network until you've logged in.

    It depends on your wireless infrastructure. I have done this with a lion server running radius with Airport basestations.
    The key is setting up pre-shared keys between the basestations and the laptops. If you have Airports and a lion server I would look into the radius set-up.
    Otherwise I would look into pre-sharing keys with your existing wireless infrastructure.

  • No internet connection on either x64/x86 flavor on Windows 10 -- Missing Sockets entries as well.

    Hi all,
    I was referred here from http://answers.microsoft.com site, by a Microsoft Support Engineer....
    I had (and still have virtual-box).  I have installed yesterday the VMware workstation as well (which apparently is not compatible with Hyper-V.
    I've installed both Windows10 Preview flavors under HYPER-V.  On either one, I cannot connect to the internet (and thus activate either).  The x64bit says it's missing files needed (I've 
    checked detailed view, it points to "missing windows sockets registry entries" and has 2 "?" marks under Device manager (one of which is the acpi) - Even after a fresh, SECOND, install.
    The x86 flavor, says i do not have valid ip.  (I had to make local user account because of the no internet access).  I went through the defaults while installing 
    (no motherboards drivers have been asked to be installed).  This is a Desktop computer with wired high-band routers.
    Can anyone suggest a solution for the connection?  (I now obviously also have the external switch and is is connected and i can surf on the primary Win8.1 OS).
    Do I really need BOTH VMware and Hyper-V installed / Which one is better for this specific problem..
    ANY help will be greatly appreciated.
    Update:
    I've took off Hyper-V completely.  Re-stared, Tried to set it up under VMware workstation, got the same results.  Either "no valid ip", or missing sockets.  (Vmware adapter is enables, but no connection in either ipv4 and
    ipv6.  Exactly the same
    happens with Hyper-V.
    With Utmost Respect,
    The motherboard is MSI.  The CPU is I-7.  6GB ram avail. 
    Kind Regards,
    Me.
    Update 2:
    Problem resolved.  Here's what i did:
    Completely removed the Hyper-V platform from Windows Featured.   Then rebooted.
    (Vmware services are still running but with no usage for now).
    Opted in the Enable PAE/NX under system/Processor tab in VirtualBox.
    Opted in the Enable VT-x/AMD-V & Nested Paging under system/Acceleration tab in VirtualBox.
    Created the Virtual PC  as VHD!!
    Both of the above -- are grayed out when the Hyper-V platform is installed and therefor will NOT allow Windows 10 Preview to either install well or connect and activate - until the Hyper-V is removed.
    Seems that taking OFF the native, built in Hyper-V Virtualization Platform altogether - Solved the issue.
    Just shows that  the respectable VirtualBox (v.4.3.12),
    Works like a charm where the other two platforms, Did not.  (Kindly note that the Hyper-V Switch, was installed with no evadent issues, it did show traffice - for a few seconds, then remained enabled BUT both IPv4 & IPv6 went to no connection).
    Windows managed to successfully Connect and auto activate -- on both x86 & x64 flavors.

    Use this set of drivers and put on FAT Flash memory card to access.
    They will work and better due to your having a 2011 model you should consider Lion OS eventually.
    Can't locate? the Apple Setup.exe or Bootcamp.msi (Bootcamp64.msi for 64-bit) will only be accessible when in Windows.

  • Using time capsule to share internet connection with a pc via ethernet

    Hi,
    I've recently acquired a time capsule and was wondering if i could use it to share a wireless internet connection via ethernet to my non-wireless (windows 7) pc?
    My current situation is that i have a wireless modem/router that shares my internet connection wirelessly with my mac mini.
    I have a pc without a wireless card that i want to connect to the wireless network so i was wondering if it was possible to attach the pc and the time capsule with an ethernet cable, then connect the time capsule to the wireless network and share the internet connection with the pc.
    Can anyone tell me if this is possible, and if so how?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    IF...your wireless network is now being created by another Apple "n" router like an AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express or Time Capsule, it would be possible to do what you want to do.
    But the Time Capsule would not be compatible for what you want if your wireless is created by another manufacturer's router. The Time Capsule could "join" this wireless network so that backups would occur over wireless. However, when the Time Capsule is configured this way, the ethernet ports on the device are not active, so this would not help with the ethernet connection that your computer needs.
    A new AirPort Express 802.11n would do what you want. It has the capability of joining virtually any wireless network and the ethernet port can be enabled using the ProxySTA feature, so it would work for your purpose.

  • Internet Connect password won't turn off?

    Hey there folks,
    This is more of an annoyance/inconvenience than a problem. I would like to turn off the Internet Connect password request dialog box that comes on only when I try to connect via the modem status icon on the menu bar (option available via Internet Connect).
    When I try to connect to the internet with a dial-up connection (please don't ask me why I'm still using dial-up…), I try to connect through the modem status icon and at first it tries to connect, but then up comes an Internet Connect dialog box asking for my (login) password –if I choose Cancel or enter an incorrect password the connection that is being attempted disconnects –however, it does connect if I enter the correct login password. Yet if I choose to connect directly through the Internet Connect application, there is no dialog box asking for a password, and it connects to the internet just fine.
    I should mention that I have just started using the login/password feature, and also have set a Master Password for FileVault (under Security in System Preferences), but FileVault has not been turned on. I have also fidgeted with KeyChain Access, but have not yet aclimatized myself to its surroundings (although hopefully I haven't messed anything up). I have only just had this problem since fooling around with these password/security features.
    Also, I have read the Apple Discussion Board discussions about accessing Accounts in System Preferences and turning on "Automatically login as:" (under Login Options) and also about changing the password to an empty field (no characters), also under Accounts. I have tried these options to no avail (also having closed/quit the System Preferences panel and having restarted the computer). I have tried these with administrator settings on for the main user (I also have a guest user setting with some restrictions and no administrator settings –but I can connect via the modem status icon when logged in as the guest user without the Internet Connect password dialog box coming up –?)
    Personally, this seems to me to be a software glitch due to the fact that connecting via the Internet Connect application does not require a password, but connecting via the modem status icon on the menu bar does. (Also, I previously updated my Tiger OS to 10.4.2 from 10.4.1, but noticed that I got a lot of password dialog boxes upon trying to do the littlest things, that I reinstalled the original Tiger OS and then only updated to 10.4.1 –but these OS update shennanigans happened some time ago –so I digress…)
    If anyone has any ideas on how to turn off this Internet Connect password dialog box (preferably other than reinstalling the system software), I would appreciate it.

    G4, MacOSX Tiger 10.4.1, Internet Connect v1.4

    Have you been repairing Permissions before & after every install/update & rebooting?
    I'm thinking that the difference is where the parameters are stored, I think the Icon ones are linked to the Network CP, might drag these files to the Desktop & reboot...
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    You can always move them back & reboot again if it doesn;t work.

  • Internet Connect Pop-up Window

    Internet Connect has started opening a pop-up window telling me that I am connected to the internet and asking if I want to stay connected when I am in the middle of working on the internet.

  • Virus Software Turned Off & Internet Connection Problem

    My laptop has been slowing down, but it was fine otherwise.   A few days ago, I turned it on and received warning messages from the HP Action Center and HP Support Center that my Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software was no longer on.  I never turned them off and they've been working fine for 6 months or so, so it's not like I just installed them recently.  Since the problem started, I've tried several times to turn them back on, but the computer just doesn't do anything.  It asks if I trust Kaspersky and want to run the app, I click on yes, and then nothing happens.  I've also tried to run the software by using the Kaspersky desktop icon, but that won't do anything either.   The same time that this problem occurred, I also lost my ability to fully connect to the internet (DSL connection).  I can get to the Firefox homepage, but whenever I try to get to any other website, even simple ones like Google, nothing happens.  I've tried everything I can think of to fix these problems (except for using the refresh/restore option, which I'd like to avoid if possible).  I've power-cycled the modem, run diagnostics and network checks, and I installed MalwareBytes from a USB drive and ran that scan, but it didn't find any problems.  At the same time that these other problems began, I did see a brief notice that said that a Windows update failed, but I don't know if that caused these other issues or if it just failed because the other issues prevented the update.  Kaspersky's tech support has not been very helpful.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Keep in mind that I can't access the internet from the affected computer, so I can't download anything directly to it.  Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Sharing my internet connection via Airport

    I have an Intel MacPro with an Airport card. It is connnected to the internet via one of its ethernet ports. I am trying to share that internet connection via the Airport card with my Windows XP machine. I was able set up the wireless connection using 128-bit encryption, and successully access websites from my Windows XP laptop. However, it seems that neither AIM nor Yahoo Messenger nor MSN IM on my Windows machine can connect via the MacPro internet sharing. I can only use a web browser on the Windows machine successfully. Is there some additional configuration I need to do get the internet connection sharing to handle other kinds of connectsions, rather than just web pages?

    I'll admit that I'm merely guessing here. Are you running the firewall on your Mac? It is possible the firewall is blocking the ports that the messaging software is using. If your firewall is on turn it off and try using the Yahoo and/or MSN messaging software. If it now works see if you can determine what ports are being used and edit your firewall to keep those ports open.

  • AD Radius 802.1x Login Window Connection Problems

    Mac Mini/10.10.1
    I'm using two profile manager profiles for testing:
    1. AD Certificate
        Installs certificate for AD Certificate Authority.
         Requests Machine Certificate from CA
    2. Network Settings
         Network Payload:
              Interface WIFI
              SSID our 802.1x SSID
              Auto Join - Checked

              Use as Login Window Config - Checked
              EAP Types: PEAP
              Use Directory Auth - Checked
    Issue:
         Certificate services work fine, login window works fine. User is able to login and authenticate to wireless. However users are experiencing problems with computer sleep, roaming on network etc. I can simulate their problems by turning off air port and back on while logged in. What I'm seeing happen is that when airport is turned back on, it begins to connect to the 802.1x wireless network but does not authenticate does not receive an IP address. eventually resulting in self assigned address. If I press the connect button it will then authenticate and work as expected.
    Why is it necessary to press the connect button, why does it not automatically connect? Am I doing something incorrect or is this normal behavior?
    Going into network preferences, choosing wifi adapter and clicking connect is too much to expect from my users. And it would be annoying even for me if this happened every time I went offline.
    Thank you for suggestions.

    Hi Geoffrey,
    I would like to know if
    EAP-TLS wireless authentication has been used since it uses user and computer certificates to authenticate wireless access clients.
    Please try to use NPS wizard to configure 802.1x wireless connection,
    and
    you will find that it
    creates new connection request policy and network policy. Network policy NAS Port type will be "Wireless -Other OR Wireless -IEEE 802.11".If
    you
    need filter by user and computer account, the log should show both authenticate user and machine account name.

  • Tiger's Internet Connect App in Leopard and 802.1X

    Hi!
    I discovered when I bought my MacBook Pro (in fact it was when I installed Leopard in my iBook) that Leopard doesn't support WPA Enterprise networks using 802.1X. The most common solution for this problem (since Apple decided not to care about "eduroam" users (let's say it's the most used wireless network system in european and australian colleges, included mine) that can't use their college's network under Leopard) is to install Tiger's Internet Connect App. Well, that's what I did. To discover that it can't find any network, and that I can't configure 802.1X, because the icon doesn't appear in the app. Someone can help?

    The Internet Connect App from Tiger is no longer used under Leopard. I know it seems odd at first, but it's actually much more intuitive now (perhaps a little too intuitive for those that used prior systems, it took me quite a bit of searching to find the settings). Go into Network Preferences and click on Advanced under Airport. Then click on 802.1X in the top and then in the bottom left click on the plus sign which brings up three options: User Profile, Login Profile, or System Profile. The User Profile is as it says just for that user. The Login Profile goes to the login page so a network user can be verified through RADIUS. The System Profile allows the profile to run throughout the system including at login (so the username and password for the login window doesn't authenticate, it's already built-in and running). I hope this helps.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11g base station loses internet connection often

    I just installed an Airport Extreme base station (802.11g version Apple Base Station V5.7) last week. And it keeps dropping my internet connection at least once a day.
    I simply replaced an old SMC Barricade wireless router that died (and was a POS). But I only had to reset the SMC about once every 2 months. Nothing else has changed in my setup. Only the router/base station is different.
    The wireless part is fine. Even when the internet connection gets dropped the hard wired AND wireless clients can still access the local network. Reseting the DSL modem has no effect. The only solution is to power cycle (unplug and plug back in) the AEBS OR restart it from Airport Admin utility.
    But you can't do that from offsite. When the AEBS drops the internet connection I can't access my office network from home!
    Is there a place in Airport Admin Utility which tells you the status of your internet connection like most generic wireless routers with web-based software do?
    Any ideas on resolving this?
    Thanks

    "Any ideas on resolving this?"
    Looter,
    Based on your description, open AirPort Admin Utility and check the configuration of your main base station on the "Internet" pane. If you're using ethernet cable from the modem to the base station, the top selector [Connect Using:] should show "Ethernet" and the second selector [Configure:] should show "Using DHCP"
    Also, check your iMac's System Preferences>Network at "Show: AirPort" and check the PPPoE pane which should show no entries (unless your isp requires its use), and the TCP/IP pane which should show "Configure IPv4:" as being "Using DHCP" - while all other info is filled in automatically.
    "Is there a place in Airport Admin Utility which tells you the status of your internet connection like most generic wireless routers with web-based software do?"
    No, the AirPort Admin Utility is not web-based, only located on your computer with the information available to it necessary to operate the AirPort system. It does not actually administer the signal. I think that is done only by System Preferences>Network.
    "I'm actually referring to the Airport Express base station not my MacBook Pro's wireless connection. Is there anywhere in the Airport Admin Utility software that tells you the status of the AEBS' internet connection NOT the wireless connection."
    No, that info is not available in that utility. The information you seek is at System Preferences>Network, but only after the system scans for it. Click the "Assist me..." button and then, on the "Do you need assistance setting up a new network connection or solving a network problem?" panel that opens, click the "Diagnostics..." button. A "Network Diagnostics" panel will then open and if its scan shows there is no internet the lights to the left of "Internet" and "Server" will be yellow instead of green. Meanwhile, it continues scanning for the connection until it is re-established. I determined this by pulling my cable from the phone jack, later reinserting it.
    Further information that may be helpful to you can undoubtedly be found in threads such as this other one:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=884049&tstart=0
    edit-
    In re-reading, I may not have given you what you need. It sounds as if you may be "timing out" somehow on your connection. You might want to check around at some of your log-on settings to see if there is that possibility connected to one of them, even though the only thing I can think of is the "Renew DHCP Lease" button which is unknown to me, as I've never used it.

  • No internet connection detected error and Login errors

    I'm on Sony Xperia SP and I have run into two problems lately, one being that Spotify says I have no internet connection (no internet connection detected error) and I've recently bought premium so I'm wasting my money because of this. I've tried clean reinstall and it still failed, this now brings me to my second problem. I also get long waits while waiting to log in and a lot of the time it never logs in, I've only logged out to first the first error and it just creates more problems. I've tried both Facebook and regular logins and none have worked. I know a lot of the community has either previously or is currently receiving this problem so a update fix would be great!
    P.S. Login for my ps4 and PC work fine so it's a problem with the app itself.

    Just a correction, I believe the error was actually no internet connection available but because I can't even login I'm not sure!
