LDAP supports on catalyst switch for CLI admin (exec) authentication

[michaelzhq]

Does IOS on catalyst switch support LDAP authentication for CLI admin (exec) login ? I've checked numerous configuration guides, but couldn't find a clear answer.

Thanks!

   I found several references if I google on :

               cisco switch ldap authentication

  But it seems that it works only for recent IOS or XE versions.

Cisco ISE as the TACACS+ server would be the way to go.

It can use LDAP (among others) as the backend identity store.

That will be compatible with any devices that supports either TACACS or RADIUS AAA servers ( I.e. almost any managed Cisco IOS-based device).
