Hello there,
I have been trying to configure the MAC Authentication on Windows Server Network Policy Server but no success. Details on my configuration can be find below.
I have firstly enabled the Mac Authentication on 3com switch 4400 model.
enabling -> Mac-authentication
enabling authentication mode -> UsernameAsMacAddress
configuring a domain - mac-authentication domain abc.local.
I left the default Vlan (Vlan1)
While on my DC, I created a user
username: 00-00-00-00-00-00
password: 00-00-00-00-00-00
Lastly on the NPS Server, I configured the 802.1x Wired configuration, I configured the NAS (Radius Client) whici is the 3com Switch.
After completing the configurations, I turned on my computer with and logged on to the domain abc\00-00-00-00-00-00 with the password. But there was no success when the computer tried to connect to the network looking for DHCP services to obtain IP address.
On the NPS event service, I got:

All I could find was " Authentication failed due to the reason appeared in the reason code but I am very sure that the name and the password are the same. I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks.
