I am a Microsoft office administrator at a company. I would like to be able to grant internet access when the person logs into their company email.

Today anyone can access with the password, but I wish a control in the people using the intenet.

    Hi,

    Thanks for posting here.

    To authenticate Wi-Fi access for office users based on their company email login, you can implement a few steps:

    • Network Infrastructure: Ensure that your Wi-Fi network infrastructure supports user authentication. This typically involves using a Wi-Fi access point or router that supports authentication methods such as WPA2-Enterprise, which allows for individual user authentication.
    • RADIUS Server: Set up a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server. The RADIUS server will handle the authentication requests from your Wi-Fi network and communicate with your authentication source, such as Active Directory (AD), to verify user credentials.
    • Configure RADIUS Server: Configure the RADIUS server to authenticate users based on their company email login. This involves specifying the authentication source (e.g., AD) and the attributes to use for authentication (e.g., username and password).
    • Active Directory Integration: Ensure that your company email system is integrated with Active Directory. This allows the RADIUS server to authenticate users based on their AD credentials, including their company email login.
    • Wi-Fi Network Configuration: Configure your Wi-Fi network to use WPA2-Enterprise and specify the RADIUS server as the authentication server. This can usually be done through the administration interface of your Wi-Fi access point or router.
    • User Provisioning: Create user accounts in Active Directory for each office user, including their company email login and password. These credentials will be used for Wi-Fi authentication.

    ! important: test the Wi-Fi authentication process with a test user account to ensure that users are prompted for their company email login credentials when connecting to the Wi-Fi network. Monitor the authentication logs on the RADIUS server to track successful and failed authentication attempts.

    By implementing these steps, you can control internet access for office users by requiring them to authenticate with their company email login credentials before accessing the Wi-Fi network.

    Best Regards,

    Karlie
