Administration of Cisco WLC with AD users

[ravindraccie]

Dear All,

My client doesn't want to create local users to manage Cisco WLC 3504. He should be able to manage them with their AD credentials. How can we achieve this ?

I know there is an option of adding LDAP server in security. Will that be enough?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Ravindra

Hi

As far as i know (unless latest versions allow it), you can't have management users authenticating against ad/ldap directory.
You'll need to setup radius or tacacs that will authenticate users against AD behind the scene.

You have a radius server embedded into windows called NPS. You can use it for management access authentication

HI,

If you are using Cisco ISE then it will be easy to setup:
