The subject behavior occurs because the IEE 802.1x protocol-based client computer authenticates the connection until the user credentials are verified. The authentication is retried 3 times, at 60 second intervals, so it may take several minutes for the authorization to be retracted.
NOTE: Prior to using this procedure, see Microsoft 802.1X Authentication Client.
