Configuring User Access

The process of configuring User access to network resources using IDM is
simplified through IDM’s ability to learn User information from the Active
Directory or RADIUS server, and the use of Access Policy Groups.

If Active Directory synchronization is enabled, IDM creates an Access Policy
Group for each Active Directory group selected in User Directory Settings
preferences and adds the users assigned to the Active Directory group to that
Access Policy Group in IDM. Users are assigned to Access Policy Groups
based on the rules explained in Using Active Directory Synchronization (see
page 2-43)

If you do not use Active Directory synchronization, once you have configured
the Access Policy Groups, you simply assign users to an APG. The next time
the user attempts to log in to the network, IDM uses the rules in the user’s
Access Policy Group to dynamically configure the edge switch to provide the
appropriate access to the network.
