Hello all,

I am currently in the midst of setting up an NPS server and a RADIUS client, specifically my Cisco switch, to enable wired authentication.

Throughout this process, I followed a helpful video tutorial that guides the configuration of RADIUS with EAP-TLS. You can find the tutorial at the following link:

However, I encountered an issue as the authentication failed on my Ethernet port, and no relevant logs were found in the Event Viewer.

Here are the steps I followed during the configuration:

  1. Installing and configuring NPS server & Creating policies with the following configurations:

  2. Configuring the Ethernet properties:
