Experts,
I am new to Meraki Access points. We plan to purchase 80 MR52 but I have a dilemma.
We would use PPKS for school owned devices like Chrombooks, IPADS, MAC Book Air Plays.
We would use radius SSID using Windows NPS for teachers authentication. The only question is how to limit devices amount per user? Also what about if a teacher wants to use their credentials on a cell phone? How to approach that?
Would be nice to use 802.1X - radius (NPS)authentication for both MAC BOOK pros (school owned) and other BYOD like teachers cell phones, ipads. We dont have to use radius, we can use AD for authentication but how we can approach teacher own devices?
Any idea?
Do you mean PPSK? If so PPSK is an Aerohive thing. You don't have that option on Meraki.
For simultaneous logins, you can control that via NPS with RADIUS Accounting. I'll see if I can find an example...
Thank you jdsilva,
In aerohive there is SSID and user profile so I can limit to one SSID and multiple user authentication. Is there something similar with Meraki?
Because you are using RADIUS to authenticate users, you need to do it there. You need to match on the Called-Station-ID attribute. This is a reference article:
For school owned devices you should considuer using Meraki Systems Manager. This puts a certificate onto each device, and then it authenticates to the WiFi network using the certificate.
Have a read over this:
