Freeradius, Active Directory and User's Group

[Gary Gatten]

FWIW, I do group checking with SAMBA.  I'm not in front of my system, but there's an arg one can pass to the Samba util exe where it will validate uname, password, and group membership.  This should work for most "simple" confs, although I can certainly envision situations where LDAP may be required.

Understood, but the freeradius will be able to return this group
information to the Alcatel device?
