Installing and configuring FreeRADIUS for 802.1x, MAC Auth/iPSK- Integrated with Meraki Dashboard

In this video, we will be installing FreeRADIUS on Rocky Linux and have it in operation in approx. 15 minutes. We will integrate into Meraki wireless via dashboard with 802.1x, MAC Auth and MAC auth with iPSK support. We will also test authentication for MAC auth and 802.1x. The FreeRADIUS server will be integrated into an Active Directory Environment with Group membership checking for auth.

The Installer will deploy/implement the following:
• Update the system and add REPOS it may need for deployment
• Join the server to the domain
• Synchronize time
• Check that RPC calls are successful to AD
• Validate that it can see the Users
• Validate that it can see Groups
• Use wbinfo to validate that the test user you provided earlier can login
• Modify the ntlm_auth paths and binary as needed
• Change permissions for winbind
• Add ntlm/MSCHAP configuration
• Add the rewrite for MAC Auth
• Add the NAS client entries to allow connectivity
• Create the default certs (you can modify this after install)
• Enable the radiusd service for boot time
• Validate MSCHAP configuration via radtest with the test user provided
• Add MAC Auth examples to the /etc/raddb/users file for Mac Auth and MAC Auth with IPSK
• Will remove all installers files

If you close the server freeradius management - is there an easy way to reopen it?
