802.1x with MAC address authentication
hello,
we have 2008r2 nps authenticating clients via 802.1x (peap-tls - computer based authentication). working fine.
we want to allow non 802.1x supplicants (printers etc) connect network via same nps. have created user in ad username , password mac address of non-802.1x device. set following reg values on nps (as detailed microsoft allow nps read calling-station id value username) :
hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\remoteaccess\policy\user identity attribute
registry setting tells authenticating server use calling number (radius attribute 31, calling-station-id) identity of calling user. user identity set calling number when there no user name being supplied in connection attempt.
use calling number user identity, set following registry value to 1 on authenticating server:
hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\remoteaccess\policy\override user-name
after set these , restart nps non-802.1x client authenticates 802.1x clients fail authentication !
if remove above registry values , restart nps 802.1x clients can authenticate again non 802.1x device fails !
is there way both 802.1x , mac address authentication working on same nps ?
thanks
hi,
thank post.
please read mac address authorization article first.

5. always use mac address user identity, on nps server set override user-name registry value 1.
skip override user-name setting , set user identity attribute when want authenticate both ad account , mac address. need create separate network policies peap-tls or pap authentication on nps server.
if there more inquiries on issue, please feel free let know.
