Cisco 3600 and IAS for dial-in

[snickm]

Hi all,

I have a question regarding using Microsoft IAS for authentication of users dialling in to a Cisco 3600 router.

Currently, all of our users dial-in to our Cisco 3600 router using a generic username and password. This means that when an employee leaves the company they have still got access to our network which creates obvious security problems.

What I would like to achieve is to use a Microsoft IAS server to authenticate users who dial-in to the Cisco 3600 using their standard network username and password so I don't have to resort to using a seperate list of usernames on the router. I have seen examples of this for VPN connections but not for direct dial-in. Is this scenario possible and if so can you offer me some pointers?

Thanks.

snickm,

This scenario is possible and quite simple to configure. We have our employees dial into a 3660 and they are authenticated by RADIUS. Hopefully, this will point you in the right direction.
