ACS 5.3 LDAP authentication with Apple Mac OS X Server

[Arun Greig John]

Hello,

Does Cisco Secure ACS 5.3 support LDAP authentication with Apple Mac OS X server?

One  of our clients require an access control system. The major portion of  the network consists of Apple Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) Server and clients.  They were using MAC-address based authentication along with LDAP through  Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. But now the number of users has exceeded  the maximum number of MAC addresses supported by WLC (2048). Hence we  suggested ACS appliance to overcome the limit. My doubt is whether ACS  5.3 appliance can communicate with the Mac server and perform LDAP  authentication.

Apple states that OS X supports OpenLDAP, but I want to know whether anyone has tested this.

Thanks,

John

Hello John,

I read your post carefully because I have exactly the same situation but running ACS 5.2. instead of 5.3. I'm wondering whether you've received any reply to this from some different sources than this community.

Thanks for your reply

As long as Apple supports LDAP there should not be any issues.
