How can I test the authentication of an Azure account?

You can verify that your Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) integration is working correctly using several methods:

1. IronWifi Authentication Testing Tool​

Use the built-in testing tool to send a test authentication request:

https://www.ironwifi.com/authentication-testing-tool

Enter a synced user's credentials and verify that the tool returns an Access-Accept response.

2. Check Connector Status​

  1. Log in to the IronWifi Console
  2. Navigate to Users > Connectors
  3. Verify your Microsoft Entra ID connector shows a Connected status
  4. Check the Last Sync timestamp to confirm users are being imported

If the connector shows an error, verify that your client secret has not expired and that API permissions are still granted in Azure.

3. Review Authentication Logs​

  1. In the IronWifi Console, go to Logs > Authentication Logs
  2. Filter by the test user's username
  3. Look for Access-Accept (success) or Access-Reject (failure) entries
  4. Check the rejection reason if authentication fails (e.g., wrong password, user not found, expired account)

4. Test with radtest (Advanced)​

If you have 

radtest
available, you can test RADIUS authentication directly:

Replace 

YOUR_RADIUS_SERVER
and 
YOUR_RADIUS_SECRET
with the values from your IronWifi network settings.

Common Issues​

  • User not found - Verify the user is synced from Entra ID. Check connector group filters.
  • Wrong password - For synced users with generated passwords, use the IronWifi-generated password, not the Azure password (unless AD Bridge is configured).
  • Client secret expired - Renew the secret in Azure and update it in the IronWifi connector settings.
