Hello Francis,

I don’t think it would be doable because the workflow to allow a computer 
authentication rely a LDAP attribute servicePrincipalName which I don’t think 
the linux computer object has and passes through the the wpa_supplicant.

I think the best way to handle that situation is to do EAP TLS certificate 
based authentication. You can filter that EAP TLS based on the connection type 
TLS.

Thanks,
