802.1X mac based authentication does not work

Hi!
I setup the buit-in radius server like described in this kb article. Thank you @Death_Metal for this great guide and video.
But I want to use it with mac based auth for my cameras. After setting up everthing the camera with mac EC-71-DB-53-B3-1B does not get an IP connection.
What I am doing wrong?
Thank you inadvance!

@Clive_A After reading the whole part about 802.1X again in the OC user guide I finally found the hint that solved my problem.
To enable MAB on a port you need to click twice, only if the rectancle around the hook is displayed MAB is activated on that port.
Very tricky dear tp link guys :-)

You missed to enable the tunneled reply of the Radius server.
I have the same functionality for Arlo cameras connected through WiFi and it works perfectly.
Thank you,

Hi @sp00ky
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
What if you follow the guide and test it with a computer?
I am suspicious if the VLAN or RADIUS VLAN works with the IPC. Is the port untagged or tagged?
Do you even get an IP from the camera?

@Clive_A I also tried with a PC and MAC based auth but also the PC is not getting an IP. I even don't see a log entry in Omada.What I am doing wrong?

Can you post the configuration screenshots of each step that are shown in the Death Metal guide? I gotta verify step by step of your config before I come to a suggestion.

Okay I got it to work with user authentication. My failure was that I didn't uncheck the verify server by certificate. But if I want to authenticate against the computers mac address it is not working. I even don't see any log message in omada controller. I can only set it to computer authentication, than the PC tries to authenticate with domain/computer name. How the hack is this working?

@nicolati You are right the tunnel reply also needs to be activated, i already did earlier. But the real missing piece was this two functional ack hook.
