Using Identity Driven Manager

Configuring Access Profiles

Configuring Access Profiles

IDM uses an Access Profile to set the VLAN, QoS, Bandwidth (rate-limits) and
Network Resource access rules that are applied to the user when they are authenti-
cated on the network. This is where the real benefits of "access control" are realized.
When users log in, the Access Profile dynamically configures the switch or wireless
access point settings to provide the proper network access and resources for the user.

To begin, select the Access Profiles node from the Identity Management Configura-
tion navigation tree to display the Access Profiles window.

Figure 3-23. Access Profiles window

The Access Profiles window lists defined Access Profiles, including:

The Access Profile tells the switch to override any local settings for the port the user
is accessing with the settings specified in IDM.
