Description

pfSense already contains wpa_supplicant, which can also be used for wired interface 802.1x client authentication. This feature request is to add wpa supplication configuration on the interface configuration page for that purpose.

Please see https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/2n41pk/wan_authentication_with_8021x/ for additional information.

Here's a hacked-together shell script that can be used in the meantime:

#!/usr/bin/env sh

# I use this on pfSense to make wired 802.1x authentication work on startup.
# A good location to put this is in /conf, as that directory is retained during upgrades.
# You can use the shellcmd package to execute upon boot, like "nohup /conf/yourscript.sh &".

# To create password hash do "echo -n your_password | iconv -t utf16le | openssl md4" 
PASSWORD="hash:<redacted>" 
IDENTITY="<redacted>" 
INTERFACE="vmx2"
