question about freeradius, 802.1x with peap, auth via LDAP

["wenny wang" <wang.wennywang@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I need help/advise with te following scenario:

1. I have a freeradius server, this server is not part of Active Directory Domain, server is able to perform ldapsearch for user account.

2. the workstation is a windows 2000 pc, need to be authenticated thru Cisco catalyst switch to the freeradius server with user's LAN username and password transparently (peap)

my question is:

what is the requirement for radius server, does the server needs to be part of the Active Directory Domain?, can you direct me to a how to link?, I have made several configurations but none were successful, please help, thanks.
