802.1x port authentication and Windows Radius, possible?

[Andy White]

Hello,

I'm just testing at the moment before implementing on our netowrk, but has anyone implemented 802.1x port authentication on there Cisco switch and used a Windows IAS server?  See out users are all all on a Windows domain and I want to authenticate using their active directory credentials.  I think I am fine with the switch config, but it is the Windows IAS/Raduis server.  I have added the switch IP's and secret, but I need to create a policy to accept the domain users and need help.

Thanks

Andy:

Yes of course you can use whatever radius server as a AAA server for 802.1x authentication on the switches. NPS, IAS, ACS, Open RADIUS ....etc.

If you have problem with configuring the IAS then I would suggest that you post your quesiton in a microsoft forum and not here. They would be able to better assist you with your issue. But you can still look somewhere in this forum or in google to help yourself.
