Hi I have an architectural question and I hope I will not destroy list rules We have an openLDAP server. And we want to integrate LDAP users to our firewall. Our ultimate aim for integration is to apply FW policies according to users. curently we are applying policies according to IP addresses. Because openLDAP server does not provide us with accounting information sent to the FW, we have employed a freeRadius server. But we could not trigger freeRadius accounting packages by authenticating our users with openLDAP server. SO we have used libpam-radius-auth package and directly authenticated users from freeRadius. I want to ask whether this way is a logical one. does this have any negative effects, not recommended etc.. what should be the correct architecture for authenticating our users from openLDAP and provide Firewall integration for user based policies..? Thanks for your guidance..
