    Example if my Iphone connects it will appear as the MacAddress and i will prefer to give a name...

     

     

    Thanks for help

     

    Regards

    If you are using WPA-PSK, the device does not have a username  attribute so that would not be available.

     

    If you are using mac address authentication, this would be the job of an external radius server to reply with an "access accept" as well as a "username" attribute to populate that.  This will ony work on ArubaOS 6.2 and above, where the Aruba controller will look for the "username" attribute replied from a radius server during mac authentication and populate the username parameter on the controller.
