Integration with FreeRadius to work 802.1x and dynamic VLANs

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Nivio,

There is no integration between the two.  802.1x is a network access control
protocol.  It works at a much lower level than Samba.  802.1x controls
whether or not your device (workstation, tablet, smartphone, etc.) is
permitted to send packets on the network.  Samba provides network file
services.  These things occur at very different layers in the protocol stack.

The only integration that would be sensible would be to use a common
authentication database.  Samba might be useful there.  Once again, that
integration would occur well above the 802.1x layer.
