Server 2012 R2 Radius server and Cisco AP

hi,

I am trying to get my Cisco AP to authenticate with a Windows 2012 R2 server, i have setup following an online guide.

When a windows 7 client tries to connect to the SSID it fails and when i look in the radius logs it says client authentication failed EAP is not supported by the client.

Any thoughts i have tried a few changes and thought it may be certificate related but cant see any errors, the certificate is allocated from my local CA server.

i dont have access to my server at the moment but will post the logs tomorrow.

thanks
julian

Is the local CA root certificate installed on the Windows 7 client?
Are you using EAP or PEAP for access?

How have you configured your Connection Request Policy?
Type of network access server? Unspecfied would suite wireless APs
Conditions? NAS Port Type if set?
Settings? Usually authenticate requests on this server (if server is joined to AD, then it will use user's AD account).

What Network Policies have you set?

Hi,

I am still having issues getting this working,

1. My Cisco AP is setup to use "network EAP" for the SSID on native VLAN

2. My Windows 2012 R2 NPS server is setup with

a. Radius Client pointing to my Cisco AP

b. Connection request policy with condition "NAS IPv4 Address" & Auth method "Protected EAP (PEAP)"

c. Network policy with condition "Domain Admins Only" & Auth method "Protected EAP (PEAP)"

I fell foul of the NAS IPv4 Address condition as it can be confused with the IP address of the client, it is for the Network Access Service (e.g. Cisco AP) not for the Windows Client. Try changing this condition for something else.

I think I have figured it out my CA server is a standalone and I have read that NPS EAP required an Enterprise CA server which can issues EAP compatible certificate.

Thanks is was to do with the conditions I have got working.,
