You should be able to do this with ACS 5(if your LDAP can return different 
groups for student and faculty/staff). You can create following rules:

1. If "wireless SSID(with Cisco WLC, it is called-station-id) == open SSID" and 
"LDAP.Group == Student", then Permit_Access.
2. If "wireless SSID(with Cisco WLC, it is called-station-id) == 802.1x SSID" 
and "LDAP.Group == Faculty/Staff", then Permit_Access.
3. If anything else, deny_access.

If you use AD groups to determine any access restrictions / vlans (Student vs. 
staff vs. IS Admins, etc.) then this can be an issue. It works with NPS Server 
(Sorry for the original typo).

While you are correct about the 1500 result limit, this shouldn't be an issue 
with wireless authentication as the radius server will only query for the 
username requesting authentication. This works fine even with >4000 members in 
a group (we have this working right now).

Unfortunately, I do not have a suggestion, but just a caution. I do not know 
the size of your organization, but be aware that Microsoft AD groups with more 
than 1500 members cannot be queried properly with generic LDAP.  You will only 
get the first 1500 members.

In my experience here at Liberty University, OpenLDAP &  Cisco ACS 4 (& I 
expect, 5) will not work. We are moving to using Microsoft NOS server on Server 
2008R2 for RADIUS. According to the standard, LDAP extensions are supposed to 
be optional. In this case, Microsoft makes the extension mandatory.

Subject: Link LDAP groups to Separate SSIDs for Authentication

All,

I have been trying to figure this out but have been unable to find a solution.  
Here is what we are trying to do.

1 wireless SSID that is open network which uses a web portal for 
authentication- this would be the student network
1 wireless SSID that using 802.1x w/WPA and a splash page -this would be used 
for Fac/Staff


Is it possible to link the Student SSID to only the Student group in LDAP and 
the Fac/Staff SSID to only the Fac/Staff using LDAP?  We need want to keep the 
Fac/Staff folks from using the open network.  Does anyone have a similar 
requirements.

We have a Cisco ACS that is linked to LDAP/AD, a WISM and WCS.

v/r

Mike
