Element Type Description
OneXEnforced boolean Specifies whether the automatic configuration service for wired networks requires the use of 802.1X for port authentication.
OneXEnabled boolean Specifies whether the automatic configuration service for wired networks will attempt port authentication using 802.1X.
OneX Optional IEEE802.1X configuration.

OneXEnforced

The OneXEnforced (security) element specifies whether the automatic configuration service for wired networks requires the use of 802.1X for port authentication. When OneXEnforced is TRUE, the automatic configuration service must use 802.1X for port authentication. When OneXEnforced is FALSE, the automatic configuration service will attempt to use 802.1X for port authentication, but the service will fall back to no authentication if 802.1X authentication fails for any reason.

This element is optional. The default value is FALSE.

This element has a meaningful value only if OneXEnabled is TRUE. If OneXEnabled is FALSE, then the value of this element is ignored.

OneXEnabled

Specifies whether the automatic configuration service for wired networks will attempt port authentication using 802.1X. When OneXEnabled is FALSE, the automatic configuration service never uses 802.1X for port authentication. When OneXEnabled is TRUE, the automatic configuration service attempts port authentication using 802.1X.

This element is optional. The default value is TRUE. When OneXEnabled is not specified in a profile, 802.1X may be used for port authentication.
