AD Integration with vSZ

WiFi_GURU — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 09:39:30 GMT

Hello All,

I have a vSZ that I want to integrate with Microsoft AD for client authentication for users connecting to SSID "OfficeEMP"
For this do I have to take any downtime? also I am not able to find any documentation related to configuration of vSZ integration with AD.

Please use the below document to configure the Radius server on the vSZ.

Also please use the below Knowledge base article to configure the NPS server for the 802.1x authentication.

Hello @WiFi_GURU

Ruckus has authentication against Active Directory (AD) within 802.1X WLANs but It is done through NPS. So customers need to install AD-NPS, and proxy authentication will be done like in RADIUS. The controller will be the RADIUS client, and It will authenticate against AD-NPS WITH RADIUS protocol
