I really do not know if you will find the answer that you are looking for. From what I remember NAP was an option that was available with the ACS via a special patch. This is only supported for vista clients if memory serves me correct.

Here is the link that will help you with the basics.

We do not get much case volume or exposure to the NAP solution and with ACS 5.2 and ISE around the corner it might be too late to go through this setup and then run into issues with acs 4.2 possibly hitting eol/eos.

Thanks,

Tarik
