Hi Ibrahim,

If you want to perform only user authentication through user accounts that are in AD, this should definitely be possible without having the PC joined to the AD domain (this would be used for machine authentication, so not your case).

Yes, They can autheticate unless you don't have MAR enabled on the ACS 5.0

You may check this under Managing user and indentity store >>  Microosft active directory >> MAR (This option shouldn't be checked).

Machine access restriction (MAR) >> ACS machine access restriction (MAR) features use AD to map machine authentication to user authentication and authorization, and sets a the maximal time allowed between machine authentication and an authentication of a user from the same machine. Most commonly, MAR fails authentication of users whose host machine does not successfully authenticate or if the time between machine and user authentication is greater than the specified aging time.

I would suggest you to upgrade ACS to atleast 5.1 because......

Hi Ibrahim,

This is the procedure to upgrade from ACS 5.0 to 5.1:

For configuring the authentication of wireless users on ACS 5.1, here are the main concepts explaining the ACS policy model:
