Hi everyone, I´m trying to conect my Wireless controller with AD through LDAP but the instructions manual is not clear. I want that determinate group of AD can access to the wireless and i have my controller configurated to connect with AD, but i´m not sure that the controller be able to connect with ad because i don´t receive any error or OK message. Apart from this what encryption must be selected in the profiles for LDAP authenticating? Best regards

Answers:

1. You can restrict the user base with the User Base DN. If I had a domain called gearhead.local and a user group called operations and I only wanted operations to have access to wireless I would set the User Base DN to be something like "OU=operations DC=geardog DC=local"

You can choose any security method. It is independent of the LDAP authentication. I suggest WPA2 + AES.

You should see some messages in the event viewer under security or system.
Also there is a LDAP log in windows but it is easier to read the event viewer.

If you want more information what windows server are you using?
2008 seems to require PEAP authentication with certificates which can be difficult to set up.

If you want to give me more details of your system and clients I might be able to validate it in a lab.
