Hello,

i'm trying to configure Nebula Authentication Server linking my AD server, the integration works as aspected except for Group Memeber Attribute.

In my AD server i have a group called (CN) domain.local/group/WifiGuest, so I wrote in the field the name ""WIfiGuest" but if i try to login with an user included into that group, Captive portal says "auth denied" and in to nebula log i see this message "Failed login attempt to Device from http/https (incorrect password or inexistent username)"

I tried anything but i didn't figure out from this issue.

Could you help me please?

    Hi, NCA is right for "FreeWifi" interface. I'm using AD auth for the interface called "hotspot" as you can see.

    However I think I found my mistake: the selected AD Group i would use for auth must be indicated in the "External User Group" section not in the custom options for the "my ad server" section

    Hi @Mk88_it ,

    Your current Authentication method, which is set to "Sign-on with Nebula Cloud Authentication," is preventing AD server users from connecting to the network.

    To set up AD authentication for the Captive portal, please follow these steps:

    1. Go to Firewall > Authentication method
    2. Select FreeWifi Interface
    3. Under Sign-on, choose "gallini"
    4. Click the Save button
