Ok that is exactly what happened when I just played with my new 802.1x
configuration.
A few more question pops in my ming though ...
If 802.1x + MAB is enabled :
    - a new user use 802.1x to connect, register to the portal , use the
network and THEN disconnect.
    - A malicious person spoof the client MAC address, and connects to the
same port without 802.1x ... and then get access to everything :/ (i tried
with the same laptop, enabling 802.1x and then disabling)
any solution ?
One solution I can see is to disable MAB (we don't have any IP phone in the
office anyway), but then every "guest" must have a 802.1x supplicant
device, and also to have 802.1x credentials (or certificates if we use
tls). Then he could register to the portal. We could create guest
credentials.
DId I get it right ?
My boss doesn't seem to think that every human friendly device (laptop,
mobile etc) are 802.1x, but as I search on the web, it seems so, then the
second solution would be viable, right ?
And is it necessary to authenticate two times when you are a new user ? I
mean by 802.1x AND by packetfence ? There should be possiblity to combine
802.1x credentials to roles / user on packetfence, no ?

Next step : relying radius auth to packetfence + kerberos . (will probably
starts a new thread when question arises .. !!)

Again, thank you very much for your time !

ps : marvellous product so far, great job guys !
pps : c'est toujours un plaisir de voir un bon logiciel francophone ;)
