Think of it as a password that is validated by the server and client. RADIUS Secret – Is a string of unique characters that is used in communication between the RADIUS Server and the RADIUS Client.RADIUS – Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service is a networking component that is used for authorization and authentication for a diverse set of services such as VPN and Wireless networks.Below is an explanation of terminology used in this post. If you are new to Network Policy Server and RADIUS technology there might be some terms that are new. Our NPS server should be joined to the active directory and all available updates from Microsoft should be installed. See my post on Creating a Two-Tier PKI Hierarchy if you don’t have a PKI already or want more information.
Since we will be using certificates to authenticate devices (users is also possible), an existing certificate infrastructure is required in our Active Directory environment. Network Policy Server is Microsoft’s RADIUS implementation, and can be used to authenticate users or devices on a variety of services where VPN’s or Wi-Fi are usually the most popular. In this post we will be installing Network Policy Server (NPS) on Windows Server 2019 in order to authenticate users/devices connecting to our corporate wireless network.
