Configuring the RADIUS Server—Without Identity Driven Manager
Configure the NAC 800 as a RADIUS Server
5. You now have two options:
• Test the bind operation only.
Click the test settings button.
This test verifies that:
–
The NAC 800 can reach the domain controller or LDAP server.
– The administrator username and password are correct.
N o t e
If you choose this option, you may receive a message that the test
failed because the LDAP query returned no results or multiple results.
Do not worry: although the search did not return results, the bind
completed successfully. See Table 5-2 for results that
do
indicate a
problem.
• Test the bind operation and look up an end-user’s credentials:
i.
Check the
Verify credentials for an end-user
box.
ii. Enter the username for a valid user in the
User name
field.
iii. Enter the user’s password in the Password field.
iv. Re-enter the password in the
Re-enter password
field.
v. Click the
test settings
button.
This test verifies that:
–
The NAC 800 can reach the domain controller or LDAP server.
– The administrator username and password are correct.
– For authentication through an LDAP server, the filter and pass-
word attribute are correct.
– The end-user credentials that you entered are correct.
N o t e
When you first test a configuration with the Verify credentials for an end-
user option, choose an end-user username and password that you are
certain are correct (for example, the administrator password). In that way,
you verify that the configuration itself functions correctly.
Later, if a particular user has difficulty connecting, you can use the
Verify
credentials for an end-user
option to check the user’s credentials.
6. The
Operation in progress
window is displayed.

tion settings.
