I am using called station ID matching and MS PEAP

Kindly let me know about correct configuration for WPA3

Please note that, it works with WPA2/EAP and RADIUS ACL, but does not work with WPA3

Answer 1

Hello,

Here are the steps to configure NPS with WPA3 security:

1. Ensure that your access points support WPA3.
2. Install the latest security patches on your Windows Server 2022.
3. Open the NPS console and create a new network policy.
4. In the "Conditions" tab, select "Windows Groups" and add the Active Directory group that contains the users who will be allowed to connect to the network.
5. In the "Constraints" tab, select "Authentication Methods" and add "Microsoft: Protected EAP (PEAP)".
6. In the "EAP Types" section, select "Microsoft: Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)".
7. In the "Constraints" tab, select "Encryption" and choose "WPA3 - Enterprise".
8. Save the network policy and test the connection.
