Hi All,

I am testing EAP-TLS with Windows XP(EAP-TLS supplicant) , Freeradius(running on 
Redhat 9) and Cisco Aironet 1100 series Access Point. I have done all the required 
setup and EAP-TLS authentication has been successful with that setup. But the problem 
is within the EAP-TLS packet sequence. From the ethereal capture (from WinXP) it is 
shown that after "Server hello/Certificate/Certificate Request/Server hello done" 
packet transmission freeradius is sending "EAP-Success" message followed by 
"EAPOL-Key" messages (rsdius log also displays the same sequence). There is no 
evidence of transmitting "Client certificate/Client Key exchange" message from XP 
supplicant. But according to the RFC Client MUST provide certificate whenever server 
requests for a client certificate. So in turn there does not occur any client side 
authentication, only server side authentication has been done. I am testing against 
XP's "Administrator" login. 

I am not sure whether it's a right behaviour from XP/Freeradus or I have to change 
setup to make the thing working correctly. So please can anyone help on this matter? 

I am attaching following files for better review... 

WINXP ethereal capture (tlscapture in ethereal format, please apply "eapol" as filter)
from Freeradius : eap.conf,users

#       You can have several DEFAULT entries. All entries are processed
#       in the order they appear in this file. The first entry that
#       matches the login-request will stop processing unless you use
#       the Fall-Through variable.
#
#       If you use the database support to turn this file into a .db or .dbm
#       file, the DEFAULT entries _have_ to be at the end of this file and
#       you can't have multiple entries for one username.
#
#       You don't need to specify a password if you set Auth-Type += System
#       on the list of authentication requirements. The RADIUS server
#       will then check the system password file.
#
#       Indented (with the tab character) lines following the first
#       line indicate the configuration values to be passed back to
#       the comm server to allow the initiation of a user session.
#       This can include things like the PPP configuration values
#       or the host to log the user onto.
#
#       You can include another `users' file with `$INCLUDE users.other'
#
