you talking for radius auth for the WLC. You need a RADIUS server (ISE, Microsoft NPS etc). The router wont work as the authenticator.

I know but the access point controller gets no response from the windows server nps it is set up correctly with the same setup that i had working before but the wlc cant comunicate with the server but there is no firewall in between or acl's and the wlc can ping the windows server

What WLC?
What version of software?
Can ping the server from which interface? (maybe not the same interface the radius is originated from)
You can do debugs on WLC and packet captures on router to see what's happening.

WLC is 2504 

version of software is  wlc 8.5.161.0 the software of the router  Version 15.7(3)M5 and the network policy server is windows server 2019

the wlc can ping both its default gateway the default gateway server and the server itself 

can u be nice and get me the commands  i need to run?

friend I think you add management IP in AAA, and router do NAT and change this IP and hence the AAA refuse the radius packet. 
you need to add NAS-ID to your radius packet toward AAA server, and use this NAS-ID in AAA.
NAS-ID not change during NAT.

"show interface summary" to get the name of the client interface
ping <server ip> "client interface name"
debug aaa all

As the server runs Windows you can use Wireshark for packet capture on server side: https://www.wireshark.org/#download

 

do i run these on the cisco router or on the wlc?

Those are all WLC commands.
You can also do packet capture on the router: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ios-nx-os-software/ios-embedded-packet-capture/116045-productconfig-epc-00.html#anc10

I will get her done later
