WPA/802.1x Client Authentication Timeout

I set up WPA/WPA2 using 802.1x on an SSID controlled by a Cisco WiSM module. Radius authentication is working fine, clients are able to associate. The problem is the 802.1x Cert or the users credentials are either being saved somewhere and automatically used for for reauthentication. I am not sure if this is client related and a simple settings change or if the controller is holding an open session and re-authenticating the device. Is there a setting that would force the user to provide credentials each and every time they associate to the SSID? I have seen the same behavior on MAC and Windows clients.

The main question that needs answered is: Does the XP/MAC client store credentials for use in reauthentication? Or is there a timeout that can be configured on the WiSM module?

I would expect it to be client caching.
If they are all in a windows domain, there may be something in Group policies.
