Hi Stuart

Yes, I've accomplished something similar in a few situations. AD
credentials can be leveraged for this purpose. I'd setup an AD
authentication source and point it to a local domain controller.

Configuration -> Policies and Access Control -> Authentication Sources ->
Internal -> Active Directory

Fill out the typical bind information. I'd recommend creating a new user in
AD for this. Also, the ldp.exe tool can be helpful if the LDAP DN strings
are a pain to type.

You can test the LDAP Bind with a button on the page in ver 9.0.1. It may
be available in previous versions too.

Towards the bottom, you can configure authentication and administration
rules.

Authentication -> These rules are great for use with captive portals and
who can register a device.
Administration -> These control what level of admin privileges are assigned
to users when they authentication. You probably want to assign a condition
here.

Make sure to use Actions to specify roles and durations.

Conditions gave me trouble at first. I tried using "memberOf" to match
groups with the "contains" option. Save yourself a troubleshooting headache
and use regex instead. Something like ^.Domain Admins.* should do the
trick. Then you can specify different permissions per AD group.

Last, add this auth policy to a connection profile. If you're using the
default, this is easy.

I hope this is helpful,

Nick Pier
