We use LDAP/RADIUS for user authentication. Is it possible to ALSO authenticate by MAC address for specific devices?

Unfortunately we wouldn't be able to do this, if you enable both Radius and MAC auth on a single SSID, the Radius server will only display one server at a time. So for example, if you select Radius Server A, and then enable MAC auth, you will see Radius Server A already selected for the MAC auth portion of the SSID. If you change this over to Radius Server B, and then check your original, non-MAC auth, Radius SSID, you'll see Radius Server B in place.

You could do a Radius SSID along with certification authentication, where the users would be able to enter their Radius credentials, and they would have to have your certificate pre-installed on their client device before they would be able to connect. That way the users are still entering credentials, but you have to pre-approve and pre-set up the devices they are allowed to use.

Does that answer your question?
