Wired Autoconfig/Dot1x- PEAP/Certs - how to select proper user private cert

Hello, we are using Dot1X with PEAP and certificates issued by our private CA. 
Authentication process is set up with computer auth and user re-auth (computers and users groups have their own VLANs). 
Everything is working smoothly, but some (few) users have more private certs from another issuers (Banks and so on). 

Is it possible to somehow configure Windows client to choose certificate from our private CA for transparent authentication via EAP? Or is it possible to configure private certificate priorities or workaround this problem with OID any other way?
Any ideas are welcome. 
Regards, Martin

Hi fangy_cz,

The main issue is to configure the certificate for the EAP ,right ?

Here is a link for reference :
Configure Wireless Clients running Windows 7 and Windows Vista for EAP-TLS Authentication
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759246.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

Here is an example ,please pay attention to the certificate part and it may be more clear for reference.

No, the main problem is to configure a client to select proper one.  
  
Let's imagine, you have a certificate from private CA and with this certificate authentication to wired or wireless segments of your network works fine. But then u will have a new application from 3rd party (any banking system) and for authentication to logon into this system you will have another private certificate from 3rd party.   
  
In this situation when the user attempts to logon into your segment, the client will use certificate from the 3rd party which is of course not trusted for accessing these networks.  
  
My question is, how to, when im using SSO, configure client to choose a proper client certs. For example just from our private CA.

From Wired-Autoconfig log in these clients. And these behavior happens only in client with 3rd party client certs.

Network switch is configured to try for MAC authentication bypass when client is not responding (is not capable) Dot1x. NPS servers doesnt recieve any RADIUS packets from these clients after user logon. 

So i thing this is some EAP problem on client and client is not capable to send EAPOL packets after user logon.
