Well, ok, I'll start again, go as far as I can, and then ask questions about
what I'm seeing and what I don't understand.

They do if they need to configure the switch.  I meant admin users, not
general users, but it's still authenticating a user account using RADIUS.

Hang on, this works?  I thought I'd read online again and again that if
you're authenticating against Active Directory, you must use ntlm_auth,
because AD doesn't respond properly to the LDAP and KRB modules?  I'd
specifically tried to research this very question, and thought I'd come out
with the understanding ntlm_auth needed to be used?  Will LDAP work properly
against AD?

Which specific guide are you talking about?  Or are you talking about the
several individual guides I'd mentioned before?
