Cloud-based Radius Solution
Hello,
Actually I managed to have an authentication without using Radius server. The users must authenticate using their O365 account via a splash page. It's integrated with Meraki Wifi network and it works fine.

Interesting, can you provide more information on how you solved it? Did you follow any guides or blog posts?

No, I design the solution myself actually :-)
It's pretty simple. If you are using Cisco Meraki, it allows you to use an external splash page (Excap). For that page, you have 2 options: one using a radius authentication (which doesn't hep) and one using a click to connect (no authentication). As such, it doesn't help either but if you store that click to connect page on an Azure app that you protect but forcing your user to authenticate before accessing the page, it makes the job. On azure the azure web app, you have the option to select authentication using Facebook, google, Azure AD, etc. then you must configure the wallet garden of Meraki to allow access to the Azure authentication even without being authenticated on the wifi network.
And that's it :-)
I think I've post something to explain this on the Meraki forum but not sure anymore ;-)
Hi Johan Maricq !
We are also currently trying to set up a azure ad login for cisco meraki. But we still face some challenges... Can you please let me know your approach?
if you want to get to me via email: mailto:fs@jobcloud.ch

Hello,
For now I created a splash age application using the web app from azure AD.
This app is protected and accessible only to my authenticated users (basic feature you can activate in the app options).
When a user connects to the wifi, he is redirected to this portal hosted on the azure web app, Azure asks the users to authenticate. When authenticated, the splash page is just a pass through button the user need to click on.
I hope this help.
Regards,
Johan
