Authorization based on scheduling

per_2
Level 1
Level 1

I'm looking for a solution to help me schedule resources in our network lab.  I want to require staff to schedule a resource, and then have ACS do authorization against whether or not a user has scheduled the resource.  The peice I dont know about is the whole calendar/reservation piece.

I've seen this kind of scheduling for conference rooms in Exchange.  I'm wondering if setting up a "conference room" type resource in Exchange would have users assigned to the resource for a particular time period in such a way that Cisco ACS could do authorization against the resource validating the username to validate login access for the resource.  I'm not worried about forcing a logout at the end of the timeframe, the initial authorization would be sufficient.

Does anyone have the exposure to know if this approach could be made to work, or is there a better approach that I havent considered....I'm a bit new in this group.  Thanks in advance.

Hi Per,

What ACS are you using? what is the protocol?

you can try that with ACS 5.x

Hope that helps.
