Configuring the RADIUS Server—Without Identity Driven Manager

Configure the NAC 800 as a RADIUS Server

4.

Select the 

Access mode

.

If you are creating a cluster for RADIUS services only, the access mode 
does not matter because the NAC 800 does not enforce quarantining. 
However, you should disable testing as explained in Chapter 6: “Disabling 
Endpoint Integrity Testing.”

5.

In the

 Basic 802.1X settings

 area, select 

Local

 for the 

RADIUS server type

.

N o t e

The 

Quarantine subnets

 field only applies if the NAC 800 enforces endpoint 

integrity. This setting allows the NAC 800 to respond to DNS requests from 
endpoints in quarantine VLANs. You should have already set up the quarantine 
VLANs in IDM. 

You have now enabled the NAC 800 to make access-control decisions as a 
RADIUS server. Next, you must configure the RADIUS server’s authentication 
settings.

Configure Authentication Settings

To check 802.1X credentials, the NAC 800 draws on user accounts stored in 
one of several locations: 

■

A Windows domain (see “Configure Authentication to a Windows 
Domain” on page 5-10)

■

An OpenLDAP server (see “Configure Authentication to an OpenLDAP 
Server.” on page 5-15)

■

A Novell eDirectory server (see “Configure Authentication to a Novell 
eDirectory Server” on page 5-19)

■

Another RADIUS server (see “Configure Authentication to a Proxy 
RADIUS Server” on page 5-23)

N o t e

The 

Manual

 option for end-user authentication specifies the NAC 800’s local 

database as the data store. However, IDM is required for this option.

Configure Authentication to a Windows Domain

The Windows domain authentication method allows the NAC 800 to check 
end-user credentials against credentials stored in AD. 

The NAC 800 joins the domain. Then, when it receives an authentication 
request from an end-user, the NAC 800 uses NT LAN Manager (NTLM) to query 
a domain controller (a server that runs AD) and check the end-user’s 
credentials.
