[jeremy21t]

Hello Team

I am deploying Cisco Mobility Express at the customer site and the customer want the users to be authenticated through Active Directory. Is it possible to authenticate users through active directory on mobility express image 8.7.

Your fast response is much appreciated.

There is no direct integration with AD. You have to use a RADIUS server for 8021X  & RADIUS server with integrate with AD for credential verification.

Hi Rasika
Thank you so much for your help. But, i am wondering if i should run a
radius server protocol on active directory or i have to use another radius
server and then AD.

Microsoft NPS can use as RADIUS server

If you have a large environment, I would go with separate servers for AD & RADIUS
