The Core Network Guide provides instructions for planning and deploying the components required for a fully functioning network and a new Active Directory® domain in a new forest.This guide explains how to build upon a core network by providing instructions about how to deploy Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.1X-authenticated IEEE 802.11 wireless access using Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol – Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2 (PEAP-MS-CHAP v2).Because PEAP-MS-CHAP v2 requires that users provide password-based credentials rather than a certificate during the authentication process, it is typically easier and less expensive to deploy than EAP-TLS or PEAP-TLS.In this guide, IEEE 802.1X Authenticated Wireless Access with PEAP-MS-CHAP v2 is abbreviated to “wireless access” and “WiFi access.”This guide, in combination with the prerequisite guides described below, provides instructions about how to deploy the following WiFi access infrastructure.One or more 802.1X-capable 802.11 wireless access points (APs).Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Users and Computers.Wireless client computers running Windows® 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8.To successfully deploy authenticated wireless with this guide, you must have a network and domain environment with all of the required technologies deployed. After joining the computer to the domain and restarting the computer, the user can use a wireless connection to log on to the domain.For an overview of the wireless access deployment process using these technologies, see

If the credentials are not valid and authentication fails, NPS sends an Access Reject message and the connection request is denied.The server running NPS performs authorization as follows:NPS checks for restrictions in the user or computer account dial-in properties in AD DS. These certificates are required when you deploy the PEAP-MS-CHAP v2 certificate-based authentication method that is used in this guide.A member of your organization is familiar with the IEEE 802.11 standards that are supported by your wireless APs and the wireless network adapters that are installed in the client computers and devices on your network.

We use clearpass for authentication, the clearpass supports TLS1.2, and already enabled. Certificates are digitally signed by the issuing CA, and they can be issued for a user, a computer, or a service.A certification authority (CA) is an entity responsible for establishing and vouching for the authenticity of public keys belonging to subjects (usually users or computers) or other CAs. If your password or network key is 64 characters, enter hexadecimal characters. With EAP authentication, both the network access client and the authenticator (such as the NPS) must support the same EAP type for successful authentication to occur. Administrators can use AD DS to organize elements of a network, such as users, computers, and other devices, into a hierarchical containment structure. Enter this password or network key for the PSK value. Windows Server 2016 includes an EAP infrastructure, supports two EAP types, and the ability to pass EAP messages to NPSs. See The profile is created, but it's not doing anything. If you decide to deploy server certificates from a public CA, ensure that the public CA certificate is already in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store.The NPS authenticates the user. To successfully authenticate the NPS, the client computer must trust the CA that issued the NPS certificate. NPS is required when you deploy 802.1X wireless access.When you configure your 802.1X wireless access points as RADIUS clients in NPS, NPS processes the connection requests sent by the APs.

The Group Policy settings that you create are contained in a Group Policy object (GPO). When it is configured for WPA2-Enterprise it request additional parameters of authentication method. By associating a GPO with selected Active Directory system containers — sites, domains, and OUs — you can apply the GPO's settings to the users and computers in those Active Directory containers. password in two lines.

Wireless security encryption is used in conjunction with the selected network security authentication method. Next, When your organization's network is set up or configured, a password or network key is also configured. A Group Policy Management enables directory-based change and configuration management of user and computer settings, including security and user information. login and 2.) The planning section of this guide assists in determining the features your APs must support.Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is installed, as are the other required network technologies, according to the instructions in the Windows Server 2016 Core Network Guide.AD CS is deployed, and server certificates are enrolled to NPSs. WPA2 Enterprise is obviously focused more on business users. Although this standard was designed for wired Ethernet networks, it has been adapted for use on 802.11 wireless LANs.This scenario requires the deployment of one or more 802.1X-capable wireless APs that are compatible with the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol.802.1X and RADIUS-compliant APs, when deployed in a RADIUS infrastructure with a RADIUS server such as an NPS, are called This guide provides comprehensive configuration details to supply 802.1X authenticated access for domain-member users who connect to the network with wireless client computers running Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 8.
