I'm using the Cisco virtual controller with a handful of access points in Flexconnect mode. I'm running version 7.5.
I'm using the Microsoft NPS (2008 R2) for right now. I can authenticate a domain computer and assign it to the admin vlan and everything works great. I also have a guest vlan that I'm authorizing based on a domain user group and that's working great.
That allows me to specify a vlan ID (number). The issue is that the appropriate vlan ID is different across buildings on a campus. (layer 2 access switches trunked up to the distribution switches) I know I could create different authorization policies for each flexconnect group, but that will get out of hand as we go forward.
What I'm looking for is the ability to specify a vlan "name" in the RADIUS authorization rule. Then on the controller we would map that name to a vlan ID at the FlexConnect group. Is this possible today? Or is this a feature request?
Thanks.

Unfortunately returning (using!) a VLAN name in the Radius response is only possible with centrally switched traffic today...

Is this a roadmap item?

Doubtful... Only the switch knows the local VLAN names; they're not propagated up to the AP from the switch so it can't translate the name to an ID.
