Authentication for Device Wireless

Registered devices authenticate by MAC address instead of by their owner's UID, and entries are similar to this example:

dn: deviceMAC=2c:33:58:f9:a3:d0,ou=RegisteredDevices,ou=NIS,o=vt
objectClass: nisRegisteredDevice
prohibited: FALSE
deviceMAC: 2c:33:58:f9:a3:d0
deviceUID: deanthayer

The deviceMAC attribute is used as a plaintext password for authentication, and the deviceUID attribute is used to associate the device to a person by matching the deviceUID to the uid attribute of entries in ou=people,ou=NIS,o=vt and to the entitledUID attribute in ou=Entitlements,ou=NIS,o=vt entries.
