Hi Chris,
 
    We use TACACS+ to administer our switches here and I can tell you that I 
had to add extra stuff to the TACACS replies to allow authorization to manage 
the switches.  So you may be able to login via radius but somewhere you are 
going to have to send information to the switch on what authorization is given 
per user.  This means that your going to have to have AD respond with this 
information or have some other method that will inject those values when you 
login.
 
    I think it is possible but I do not think it will be to easy if you are 
only using AD as the back-end, you may need to use local files to define groups 
with attributes or some scripts to inject the values Cisco wants.
 
Hope that helps.

Greetings all,

We have a couple of Cisco switches that we administer using SSH sessions. Now I 
have been asked if we can authenticate the SSH login on our Windows 2008 Active 
Directory using our Freeradius (2.1.10) installation.

I have been looking and found:
http://wiki.freeradius.org/Cisco
for authenticating inbound shell users and 
http://deployingradius.com/documents/configuration/active_directory.html
for authenticating users on AD.

Now I am trying to combine those two. 

On the Freeradius server Samba and Kerberos are configured, the ntlm_auth 
returns an NT_STATUS_OK.

First question: Would this at all be possible?

And if so my second question: Unfortunately, when I add ntlm_auth to the 
authenticate section of sites-enabled/default and run freeradius -X I get an 
error that the ntlm_auth module could not be loaded though I have created the 
ntlm_auth file in the modules folder as described in the link. How should I get 
that to work?

Help would be highly appreciated.
