If I use Windows XP 802.1x to access my wireless network, it caches the credentials. Is there anyway to change this so each time a user wants to connect to my secure network that they must type in their username and password?
I guess I could just be paranoid, but it seems like a security risk to me.

Thanks!

My advice....

Do not use the Windows XP wireless client utilty (Wireless Zero Configuration Service) for 802.1x or any other wireless authenication...

It is full of security holes.

Hey thanks for the response, and I'd agree. My problem lies in forcing every wireless user to go to the help desk to have a wireless client installed. I was trying to find an easier way a user could have the security of 802.1x

Right now its either guest access with no security, or come get client installed. Is there no middle ground?

You need an 802.1x supplicant no matter what. My advice is to use third party software like Odyssey client from Funk Software:
