Getting Started
Before You Begin
5. Create the Access Profiles, to set the VLAN, QoS, rate-limits (bandwidth)
attributes, and the network resources that are available, to users in an
Access Policy Group. (See page 3-26)
6. Create an Access Policy Group, with rules containing the Location, Time,
System, and Access Profile that is applied to users when they login. (See
page 3-36)
OR
If using Active Directory synchronization, add rules and Access Profiles
to the Access Policy Groups automatically created by Active Directory
synchronization.
7. If Active Directory synchronization is not used, assign Users to the
appropriate Access Policy Group. (See page 3-43).
8. If automatic deployment is disabled, deploy the configuration policies to
the IDM Agent on the RADIUS server. (See page 3-49)
IDM Usage Strategies
You can use IDM to simply monitor user activity on the network, or to apply
user authentication rules to improve network security and performance. The
following table identifies the IDM configuration for various deployment and
usage strategies for IDM.
