Hi All,

There once a white paper called Cisco ASA LDAP Integration Use Cases
on 6200networks.com(now available as other site, either hijacked or
registered by somebody else) run by Cisco employee Joe Harris.  There
are use cases about group mapping. I still had a hard copy of the
white paper, but could not find a e-copy. If someone had it, please
share with the group.

I remember doing this 3 or 4 years ago, and looking back at the ASA
configuration, there is nothing special in the actual ASA configuration,
besides multiple VPN Group Policies.

So let's say you create 2 group policies:

VPN_Faculty
VPN_Staff

As you know each one can have its own DHCP pool, split tunnel (called
network list), ACL, etc.

What you want to do, is to create Radius mappings for users.  We did this
based on AD groups, and assigned the following Radius Attribute for each
Radius Policy:

For users matching faculty groups in AD/Radius

Attribute Name: Class
Attribute Number: 25
Attribute Format: OctetString
Value: OU=VPN_Faculty;

For users Matching Staff groups in AD/Radius

Attribute Name: Class
Attribute Number: 25
Attribute Format: OctetString
Value: OU=VPN_Staff;

Etc.

Note that the value must match the VPN group policy and the string is case
sensitive and it REQUIRES the SEMICOLON at the end or it won't work.

I did a quick Google search and I found the following document:
http://crazyvlan.blogspot.com/2008/02/vpn-and-radius-with-cisco-asa-and.html
which seems to explain it better than what I may have done.

I hope this helps.
