RE: Questions about NoCat Auth authserver setup

You do not have to put the auth server on the LDAP server.  LDAP is a
network protocol, so you can simply configure the "Captive" mode of NoCat,
and then configure the LDAP settings to point at your LDAP server.

It's recommended that you use LDAP over SSL if you are on a network where
people could sniff the network ... LDAP is a clear protocol by default.

It's actually pretty easy ... Ask more questions if you have them ...

Subject: [NoCat] Questions about NoCat Auth authserver setup


Hi, I'm new to the list, NoCat, and LDAP...  whew.
I have recently set up a NoCat Auth portal in open mode, users are 
redirected to an Acceptable Use Policy, accept it, and then can use the 
internet normally. This means that users outside the company can use our 
bandwidth, which is okay temporarily but not in the long run. What I'd like
to set up is an auth server that authenticates with our 
Radius or LDAP server. I have questions on how to set that up. Should I set
up the NoCat auth server on our LDAP server? or can I set 
up the NoCat auth server on the NoCat gateway machine and have it check 
authentication attempt with our LDAP server? Is that even possible? I know
little to nothing about LDAP and don't want to touch our LDAP 
server if possible.
Any help, suggestions, etc... would be much appreciated. Thanks,
