Hi Team!
I use network Dot1x access security with the Mikrotik User-Manager (Router-OS 7.16) as the central Radius server for various LAN Switches in the network. The dot1x authentication with dynamic VLAN setting per user works generally fine without any issues.
There is only one annyoing issue in case you activate the automatic user credential sending under Windows. In this case there is no popup window when connecting to the network and Windows sends the actual user credentials in the format hostname\username to the Radius Server.
If the PC is a domain member its domainame\username
(Whats shown here in the text is NO pipe character but a backslash! Unfortunately the forum text parser converts this somehow.)
(Sorry for the German screenshots, but its the last checkbox, right for automatic credential sending)
Usually a no brainer for FreeRadius in case you confige the user with the above format but doing so under User-Manager it instantly reports an “invalid username” cause of the Windows specific backslash in the middle of the username string.
Is there any chance to configure usernames with backslashes in the User-Manager?
Due to the fact that this automates and therefor eases user credential sending in Windows the question is why its not supported?
If there is any solution thanks in advance for any feedback.
