TAP mode and user ID

willstech — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 00:52:58 GMT

Hello all.

quick question.

during the demo(TAP mode), customer want to map IP to user id.

in the TAP mode, can I integrate w/ LDAP to retrive the user id?

in the doc-1445. transparent authentication only support AD. and interactive authentication can support LDAP, RAIDUS and local db.

on in my customer's case, the only available option is using AD?

for the confirmation.

thank you very much.

your prompt answer will be appreciated.

Hi,

In order to obtain user-ID in tap mode, you must use transparent auth with agent- that means it only support AD and e-Directory.

Other auth methods require captive portal which does not work in pure tap mode deployment.
