Wireless secure Windows server 2022
Hello everyone,
I am trying to implement ‘wireless secure’ in my domain. I have followed various guides and everything seems to be configured correctly, but I keep getting this error:
Reason: Explicit EAP error received
Error: 0x40420016
EAP reason: 0x40420016
EAP root cause string: Network authentication failed\nThe authentication method required to connect to the network is not available in Windows.
EAP error: 0x40420016
I have verified that communication via AP-WLC-NPS is working correctly, but it is unable to authenticate via eap-tls.
Do you have any suggestions? I have collected several logs, but many of them may not be necessary.
Thank you for your support.
Hi everyone,
I managed to solve the issue. The problem was that I had configured the secure wireless connection policy only on the secondary Domain Controller, but not on the primary one where the WLC was actually pointing. I had assumed the configuration would replicate, but it didn’t. Once I configured the secure wireless connection on the primary DC as well, authentication via EAP-TLS started working correctly.
Thanks for the support
