Machine Authentication is only supported on Windows devices, so this can be used to distinguish between Windows devices and other devices such as iPads. You can create any of the following types of rules: l Machine Auth only role-This indicates a Windows machine with no user logged in. The device supports machine authentication and has a valid RADIUS account, but a user has not yet logged in and authenticated. l User Auth only role-This indicates a known user or a non-Windows device. The device does not support machine authentication or does not have a RADIUS account, but the user is logged in and authenticated. When a device does both machine and user authentication, the user obtains the default role or the derived role based on the RADIUS attribute.

Configuring Machine and User Authentication Roles
You can assign different rights to clients based on whether their hardware device supports machine
authentication. Machine Authentication is only supported on Windows devices, so this can be used to
distinguish between Windows devices and other devices such as iPads.
You can create any of the following types of rules:
l
Machine Auth only
role—This indicates a Windows machine with no user logged in. The device supports
machine authentication and has a valid RADIUS account, but a user has not yet logged in and
authenticated.
l
User Auth only
role—This indicates a known user or a non-Windows device. The device does not support
machine authentication or does not have a RADIUS account, but the user is logged in and authenticated.
When a device does both machine and user authentication, the user obtains the default role or the derived role
based on the RADIUS attribute.
You can configure machine authentication with role-based access control using the Instant UI or CLI.
