Hi All,
I have a deployment for a Aruba 3200 with a NPS server (running Windows 2012 and joined to AD) where end-users needs to login via a captive portal using their AD username and password. I don't have ClearPass.
I am trying to configure in such as way so that when the end-users logs in, they need not re-enter the AD and password when they logoff their PC or go to lunch. I have tried tuning the "user idle timeout" but this issue remains.
I want that the users to stay logged in regardless if they go to lunch, turn off or on their PC, logoff or login from Windows. However, if AD password expires then that is understandable.
After reading the below threads:

It sounds like I need MAC caching or some sort but this is available under ClearPass.
Is there any workaround I can use to go around this?
