This is exactly how I deployed it in my previous employer.
I had a structure in LDAP for the source IP address so we mapped L aka
location attribute in ldap the source IP to "Client shortname" and that was
used to identify the element type.
Then we did a search based on the user full DN in Group membership and "L"
attribute to find out which group they were a part of. Then set an control
attribute like tmp-string-0 as the element type and role or similar and log
that to linelog so you know what role they were assigned when they got
access
I always intended to write up a blog post about how to do this as a
cookbook. I really should do that sometime.
