Hi,

Does anyone have any idea about what attribute to use to return parameter to Cisco WLC for Interface group assignment instead of Tunnel-Private-Group-Id which just returned the VLAN ID.

Best Regards

Clement

In this context, I meant the WLAN device.

Ah, well that's a reason for using a commercial CA for the client certs indeed. As others have pointed out, attributes like TLS-Client-Cert-CN can be used to compare the cert name against a list of known-good names.
Of course you'll have to manage that list of names yourself in config; on a scale of "handful" that's not a problem I guess. But on a larger scale, it will get bothersome.
