Issue with Android iOS Wi-Fi authentication using certificates EAP-TLS with NPS

I am trying to configure Wi-Fi authentication for Android and iOS devices using certificates (EAP-TLS). I followed the guide below Support Tip - How to configure NDES for SCEP certificate deployments in Intune | Microsoft Community Hub, and I am able to successfully deploy certificates to the devices. The certificates are installed correctly on the final devices, so the distribution part seems to be working fine.

However, the devices are not able to authenticate to the Wi-Fi network. The connection fails during authentication, and from what I can see the issue seems to be related to NPS.

My doubt is specifically about the NPS configuration. In the guide, user or computer groups are usually added in the network policy conditions, but in my scenario I cannot rely on adding users or groups, since authentication should be based only on the certificate. I am unsure how to correctly configure NPS to accept these devices using certificate-based authentication without assigning them to a security group.

Has anyone already faced this situation or can explain how NPS should be configured in this case? Any guidance or example configuration would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
