Sorry!  s/so/sorry in OP!!!! 

 

 

Hello, so for the BASIC question!  First, is there any docs that explain the concepts of how all the various pieces of FR tie together?  I’ve read a bunch of stuff and am making some headway, but some of the architecture and process flow still escapes me.  If I can gain a better understanding of the internals I could probably resolve most of my own questions and better contribute to the community as well!

 

Now, the question:

 

We have various environments that need to authenticate and authorize using FR:  VPN connections with something like (if member of “VPNGroup” then permit, else deny); vty login to network gear with (if member of “NetEngGroup” then permit, else deny); and 802.1x with dynamic VLAN assignment.  I plan to use ntlm_auth for all of these to hit AD on the backend.

 

The problem I’m having is grasping how I can do this?  Do I need separate instances of FR?  A bunch of  “if then/else” clauses somewhere?  How does FR know what type of auth is required?  Am I making this more complicated than it really is?

 

TIA for the help!  In the mean time I’ll keep reading and playing!
