be careful with MX acting as access point; if you need MX radius accounting (p.e. if you have integration with external platforms for CMX, location analytics, etc) you'll have a problem because this functionality is not supported at MX products.   regards,   F. ... View more

in easy way, i only see the option WPA2 + captive portal with third party credentials access, supporting at this moment only Google.   https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Splash_Page/Google_Sign-In   it's not your requirement but maybe is a simple way to integrate the Google login account in the NAC.   regards,   ...

hi LionGate, Purple with Meraki works great togheter. Meraki has the control over the air and Purple has the authentication layer. For me, only a caveat can be a problem: when the uses are registered at Purple (using any method: social network, formulary), Purple returns an aleatory string as radius username to Meraki platform, so it's impossible to match the customers registered at Meraki with the customers registered in Purple. Maybe exporting as .csv all data of your customers, you can match it between platforms with coincident MAC address, or maybe developing an app with APIs to take all data as you need, but in all cases, more time and money will be needed.   Maybe the idea is to use only Purple to make reports and insight, and use Meraki only for platform control layer.   Regards,     ...

i think not, i've tested the MX with wireless integrated and it doesn't send radius accounting info about users, to an external cloud platform. For this scenario, if you need radius accounting, you must to install both separate MX and AP   regards, ... View more

Hi Russ,   this captive portal license is ver good for: distributed installations with a lot of sites, and Meraki cloud AP infrastructure. It's focused to marketing and is created to capture all users data as they can. The insights derived from all data collected is awesome... if you show it to a mktg people, sure they'll want it.   i'm not a sales representative of Purple hahaha, but i think it's a good platform to capture user's data if this is the objective of your customer   please check https://purple.ai/ if you want to test the free license, a distributor near will contact you to activate it   regards, ...

hi Russ,   Meraki location analysis only shows at dashboard a few information, and you cannot modify or even analyse an specific user; Meraki use a MAC hash algorithm so it's not possible to track a user on dashboard. Although it, using API the Meraki developers can extract all info and correlate.   In this way, we're using an external captive portal + mktg + location analysis for one of our customers based on Purplewifi. But it's licensed on AP number, so if you have a few APs the cost may be affordable, but if you have a lot the total cost is rising. If you have 5 or less AP you can try the free-mode.   regards, ...
