Hello,
I have a customer with NPS role installed on DC01 and radius client + radius server configured.
Radius client are wifi controller and radius server is fortigate
On his policy connexion settings I don't understand exactly how it works.
On transfert connexion :
-Authentication : On this server
-Management : On the fortigate.
I understand authentication is done on the domain controller (with active directory I suppose ?) and logs are copied to the fortigate.
Am I right or wrong ? I don't understand really if DC01 is proxy radius or radius server in the environment.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your answer.
What do you mean exactly by accounting request ?
I try to know what's the difference... My DC is used for authentication here but network policy is not done by the DC but by the firewall right?
If for authentication I change to fortigate, that means fortigate will check on his local account if the user / password is good ?
And if I change accounting to be done locally , network policy will be done by the DC ?
Yes, I saw the logs on the DC to on c:\windows\logFiles with INXXXX generated each month.
