ONEX_AUTH_RESTART_REASON enumeration (dot1x.h)

  • Article

The ONEX_AUTH_RESTART_REASON enumerated type specifies the possible reasons that 802.1X authentication was restarted.

Syntax

typedef enum _ONEX_AUTH_RESTART_REASON {
  OneXRestartReasonPeerInitiated,
  OneXRestartReasonMsmInitiated,
  OneXRestartReasonOneXHeldStateTimeout,
  OneXRestartReasonOneXAuthTimeout,
  OneXRestartReasonOneXConfigurationChanged,
  OneXRestartReasonOneXUserChanged,
  OneXRestartReasonQuarantineStateChanged,
  OneXRestartReasonAltCredsTrial,
  OneXRestartReasonInvalid
} ONEX_AUTH_RESTART_REASON, PONEX_AUTH_RESTART_REASON;

Constants

 
OneXRestartReasonPeerInitiated
The EAPHost component (the peer) requested the 802.1x module to restart 802.1X authentication. This results from a EapHostPeerProcessReceivedPacket function call that returns an EapHostPeerResponseAction enumeration value of EapHostPeerResponseStartAuthentication in the pEapOutput parameter.
OneXRestartReasonMsmInitiated
The Media Specific Module (MSM) initiated the 802.1X authentication restart.
OneXRestartReasonOneXHeldStateTimeout
The 802.1X authentication restart was the result of a state timeout. The timer expiring is the heldWhile timer of the 802.1X supplicant state machine defined in IEEE 802.1X - 2004 standard for Port-Based Network Access Control. The heldWhile timer is used by the supplicant state machine to define periods of time during which it
will not attempt to acquire an authenticator.
OneXRestartReasonOneXAuthTimeout
The 802.1X authentication restart was the result of a state timeout. The timer expiring is the authWhile timer of the 802.1X supplicant port access entity defined in IEEE 802.1X - 2004 standard for Port-Based Network Access Control. The authWhile timer is used by the supplicant port access entity to determine how long to wait for a request from
the authenticator before timing it out.
OneXRestartReasonOneXConfigurationChanged
The 802.1X authentication restart was the result of a configuration change to the current profile.
OneXRestartReasonOneXUserChanged
The 802.1X authentication restart was the result of a change of user. This could occur if the current user logs off and new user logs on to the local computer.
OneXRestartReasonQuarantineStateChanged
The 802.1X authentication restart was the result of receiving a notification from the EAP quarantine enforcement client (QEC) due to a network health change. If an EAPHost supplicant is participating in network access protection (NAP), the supplicant will respond to changes in the state of its network health. If that state changes, the supplicant must then initiate a re-authentication session. For more information, see the EapHostPeerBeginSession function.
OneXRestartReasonAltCredsTrial
The 802.1X authentication restart was caused by a new authentication attempt with alternate user credentials. EAP methods like MSCHAPv2 prefer to use logged-on user credentials for 802.1X authentication. If these user credentials do not work, then a dialog will be displayed to the user that asks permission to use alternate credentials for 802.1X authentication. For more information, see the EapHostPeerBeginSession function and EAP_FLAG_PREFER_ALT_CREDENTIALS flag in the dwflags parameter.
OneXRestartReasonInvalid
Indicates the end of the range that specifies the possible reasons that 802.1X authentication was restarted.

Remarks

The ONEX_AUTH_RESTART_REASON enumerated type is used by the 802.1X module, a new wireless configuration component supported on Windows Vista and later.

The ONEX_AUTH_RESTART_REASON specifies the possible values for the reason that 802.1X authentication was restarted. A value from this enumeration is returned when the NotificationSource member of the WLAN_NOTIFICATION_DATA structure is WLAN_NOTIFICATION_SOURCE_ONEX and the NotificationCode member of the WLAN_NOTIFICATION_DATA structure for received notifications is OneXNotificationTypeAuthRestarted. For this notification, the pData member of the WLAN_NOTIFICATION_DATA structure points to an ONEX_AUTH_RESTART_REASON enumeration value that identifies the reason the authentication was restarted.
