802.1x auth using LDAP/AD

Question

Hi guys,

We are using 802.1x + Radius IAS on all of our WLANs to authenticate users, there is any way to use 802.1x and LDAP/AD?

On WLAN config when you select 802.1X only the Radius servers options appears.

I saw a topic (http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5...) that with Aruba it's posible.. any chance to do that with Ruckus or what is the consequences of using EAP-GTC?

Thanks!

Hi Michael. 
Thanks. Do you have a step-by-step guide on how to do it?
"802.1x requires a RADIUS server in front of your AD/LDAP backend.

You can use AD/LDAP directly to authenticate WebAuth, Guest Access, or users going tohttp:///activate to setup DPSK."

Here is what I want on DPSK:
1. When the user tries to access the internet, the user needs to enter the username and password credentials. ( Instead of using the the local authentication server of ZD, I will be using an external LDAP server ).
2. Once the username and password are entered, the user will be prompted to download the prove.exe file.

Thanks.

Any updates with this? I am also unable to configure LDAP with 802.11x.  The documentation does not make it clear if this is or isn't possible. We are using 7363 APs with ZoneDirector v9.7
