A possible reason for this might be that the Cisco 1200 AP is not sending
the Nas-Port-Type attribute correctly to the IAS server, so IAS wasn't able
to Match the access request with this first policy and was matching the user
with another policy (mentioned below in the event) which had Deny remote
access permission set. My previous post was to fix that issue
