WIFi Authentication with Windows Active Directory

Question

What would you recommend for scenario.

Office with 100 employees multiple device platforms(Apple , Windows and Android). Existing Windows Active Directory on Windows 2008 but not all devices use this to authenticate (Personal Laptops , guests and Personal phones/tablets).

The desire to connect to the wifi using active directory username and password (NB little to none client side configuration just type username and password and forget about wifi , connecting again at password change)

No captive portal just like connecting to your home wifi.

Solution

RADIUS (and NPS, its Windows implementation) is your friend. You can start from here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh994700.aspx.

If you have more specific questions, feel free to ask. As it is, this question is way too generic to be properly answered.

What have you tried? WPA2 Enterprise authentication is built for expressly this exact scenario.
