Yes you can use Radius

mentioned is Cisco ACS, but other Radius implementations will also be possible.

Radius is not a feature in the AP, it’s a separate server that runs radius. Search for the following for reference:
- Microsoft NPS
- Free Radius

Hi There

never used LDAP source directly on an AP, not sure this is possible,

It may work ?

- From the AP you configure the Cisco Secure ACS server, Microsoft radius server or any other Radius server as radius server.

- on this Radius server you reference an LDAP server as authentication source

(as described in the link to the deployment guide)

the intermediate server translates radius-requests to LDAP requests
