[ietf79-tech] Intermittent authentication problems on ietf-hotel.1x...

[Chris Elliott]

All,

I'm sitting in my hotel room and I tried to use ietf-hotel.1x on my Mac.
Authentication failed. Tried multiple times, and authentication failed. Then
tried to use it from my phone and no problem. Tried again from my Mac and it
failed again. One more time and it worked. Once I was on I checked the
radius log on services-1 and I see:

I changed absolutely nothing on my Mac. I did type in the password every
time, but I don't think I misspelled ietf many times in a row...and, no, the
caps key was /not/ on!

I can't explain this behavior, and I am concerned. Can other folks test to
see if they are seeing the same issue?

Thanks!
Chris.
