Dear Arthur

I didnot integrate ACS with Windows, but to tell you the truth,
my DOT1x setting could not properly authenticate even to internal user
database of ACS. First it did not ask for credentials when you plug your PC
but when it started doing it, then if the network connection to your PC flaps,
then ACS doesnt authenticate at all.
I reverted the changes and now waiting
for some better version of ACS or better command set for DOT1x that can sense
these problems.

I dont think TAC would help much
