Configuring Sponsor Authentication
Sponsors are the people who use Cisco NAC Guest Server to create guest accounts. Sponsor
authentication is the method used to authenticate sponsor users on the Guest Server. There are four
options available:
• Local User Authentication—Create sponsor accounts directly on the Cisco NAC Guest Server.
See Configuring Local Sponsor Authentication
• Active Directory Authentication—Authenticate sponsors against an existing Active Directory (AD)
implementation. See
Configuring Active Directory (AD) Authentication.
• LDAP Authentication—Authenticate sponsors against a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) server. See
Configuring LDAP Authentication.
• RADIUS Authentication—Authenticate sponsors against a RADIUS server. See Configuring
RADIUS Authentication.
You may specify multiple authentication services for authenticating sponsors to the Cisco NAC Guest
Server and then specify the order in which you want to authenticate sponsors. For details see
Configuring
Sponsor Authentication Settings.
