Struggling with Arista EOS and 802.1x - MAC-address based auth, and dynamic VLAN assignment?

X-post from r/Arista (which doesn't seem very frequented):

I have some questions about Arista EOS and 802.1x.

The EOS documentation seems to imply that MAC-address 802.1x is possible:

https://www.arista.com/en/um-eos/eos-section-13-3-configuring-802-1x-port-security

•An account for the supplicant connected to an authenticator port and placed in the MAC address-based authentication mode needs use the MAC address of the node as both the username and password.

Firstly - the documentation doesn't mention what command to actually put it in this MAC address-based authentication mode. Does anybody know?

Secondly - how about VLAN assignment via 802.1x - is that possible? How do you configure that?
