NPS - MAC authorization for UniFi.
Hello,
I want to set the Network Policy Server (RADIUS) in Windows Server 2012 to authorize the MAC for Unifi.
The problem is that the server prompts you for a user name and password when trying to connect.
The name should be the MAC address of the device, and the password is not. I changed a value in the registry.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your answer.

1. In steps writes "Join the machine to the domain." Is it necessary? I do not have that option. Users (MAC addresses) will be charged to the group in AD, but the machines are not connected to the AD.
2. What type of authentication you choose?
4. Do I have to change back the value in the registry and instead use the account names mentioned values?


I am a novice administrator, so please bear with us.

Hi Unnamed123,

Agree with Burak. He gave the right steps to follow.

Hello and thank you again for your answers,

Leo,
In your first link in the first step writes to enable MAC authentication on the AP. My configuration is as follows:

I suspect that the problem prompted for a user name and password is WPA2 for Unifi. I think that the message generates Unifi system before connecting to the NPS. What do you think?
