Dear maintainer.

If a machine is a member of AD domain and security policy assumes 802.1x
authorization it is impossible to use machine's account for authorization.
It is possible to manually extract machine's credentials from
secrets.tdb file, but it is not very good.
Password of machine's AD account is changed frequently and transparently
so this method is not suitable.
Could you add some option, helper or someone else for integration
network manager's 802.1x authorization with samba client and/or forward
this proposal to upstream?

This is way out of scope for a downstream bug report and should be
raised upstream instead. Upstream is most likely in a position to
evaluate if such a feature is feasible to implement in NetworkManager.

And since I don't have a setup like yours, I'm not in a position to
properly file such an upstream bug report.
I would thus like you to do that instead at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/
and report back with the bug number.

Regards,
Michael
