JoinNow Cloud RADIUS replaces vulnerable passwords with EAP-TLS. Certificates are auto-issued via MDM for managed devices, self-service in 60 seconds for BYOD. Users connect without a password prompt, and IT reduces the credential attack surface.
Replace vulnerable passwords with certificates that authenticate users and devices transparently.
PEAP-MSCHAPv2 was designed for a different era. Here’s what it costs to keep using it.
| Problem | Credential-Based (PEAP/MSCHAPv2) |
After Cloud RADIUS (EAP-TLS)
|
|---|---|---|
| Credential Security |
Passwords are easily phished, intercepted, or stolen via “pass-the-hash”
|
X.509 certificates are stored in the device key store or TPM and cannot be exported or stolen
|
| Help Desk Tickets |
Constant support tickets for password resets and Wi-Fi connections
|
One-time Wi-Fi setup for the life of the device. Reduce Wi-Fi tickets by 20%.
|
| User Experience |
Frequent disconnects and manual logins after every password change
|
One-time, simple enrollment means users don’t have to reauthenticate after password changes.
|
| IT Overhead |
On-prem RADIUS requires dedicated server management, patching, and Active Directory dependencies
|
Fully managed cloud service with real-time integrations to your infrastructure. No AD or LDAP syncs.
|
Going passwordless delivers measurable improvements to help desk volume, user experience, and IT overhead.
Fewer Help Desk Tickets
Certificates improve Wi-Fi connectivity, reducing support tickets by 20%.
Automated Onboarding
Certificates provision silently via MDM for managed devices. BYOD users self-enroll in 60 seconds.
Nothing to Phish
EAP-TLS eliminates credential-based attacks without changing the user experience.
Reduced Hardware Costs
Cloud RADIUS is fully managed. No servers to provision, patch, or maintain.
Cloud RADIUS evaluates every authentication attempt against live policy. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
IT-provisioned devices receive certificates automatically. Users connect without lifting a finger.
STEP 1
Certificate Issued via MDM
MDM pushes a certificate to the device via SCEP. No user action required.
STEP 2
Authentication Request
Device presents the certificate to the access point via EAP-TLS.
STEP 3
Real-Time Policy Check
Cloud RADIUS validates the certificate and checks device compliance and group membership against the cloud IdP.
STEP 4
Access Granted
Device connects to the correct VLAN. No password prompt, no portal.
Personal devices self-enroll once and connect automatically from then on.
STEP 1
Self-Service Enrollment
User visits the onboarding portal; JoinNow MultiOS detects the OS and serves the correct client.
STEP 2
Certificate Issued
A non-exportable certificate is provisioned to the device in approximately 60 seconds.
STEP 3
Automatic Authentication
Device presents the certificate on every subsequent connection. No user input needed.
STEP 4
Access Granted
User connects to the appropriate SSID. No password, no re-enrollment.
Devices that fail compliance checks don’t get full access. They get redirected automatically.
STEP 1
Authentication Request
Device presents a valid certificate to the access point.
STEP 2
Compliance Check Fails
Cloud RADIUS queries the IdP and detects the device is out of compliance: missing patch, unenrolled from MDM, etc.
STEP 3
Remediation VLAN Assigned
Device is automatically restricted to a remediation VLAN. No manual intervention required.
STEP 4
Event Logged
IT has full visibility into the access event and the reason for restriction.
Use native integrations and standard protocols to connect cloud identity, device management, and security telemetry to RADIUS authentication.
Cloud RADIUS handles every network authentication scenario. Explore the capabilities that matter most to your organization.
Assign VLANs, ACLs, and network roles dynamically based on user identity, device posture, and compliance status — eliminating static, manually managed network rules.
Serve multiple customers or business units from a single Cloud RADIUS deployment with complete tenant separation, dedicated policies, and centralized management.
Replace shared secrets and password-based EAP methods with hardware-bound certificates for secure, frictionless Wi-Fi and wired authentication across your infrastructure.
Apply identity and device posture checks at VPN connection time using certificate-based authentication — no passwords, no MFA fatigue, no credential theft.
Give personally owned devices the same phishing-resistant EAP-TLS access as managed devices, through a self-service onboarding flow that requires no MDM enrollment or IT intervention.
Deploy Cloud RADIUS across multiple regions with automatic failover, load balancing, and elastic scaling — ensuring network access is never interrupted.
Provide visitors, contractors, and temporary users with isolated, policy-controlled network access — authenticated through your existing identity provider with automatic expiration and full audit trails.
Combine identity, device posture, and security signals in real time to enforce dynamic access policies — granting, restricting, or revoking network access based on who, what, and how compliant the connection is.
Cloud RADIUS works with your existing APs, switches, IdPs, and MDMs to deliver certificate-based authentication without on-prem infrastructure.
