Meraki MX84 - Client VPN with AD

Hi Meraki Community,

 

I'm just wondering if anyone guys have this case before, now I have a Meraki Cloud Authentication Method to authenticate the Client VPN users, and I want to change the authentication method to AD, but my question is can I do this and keep using the email address as username from client-side.

 

I have My AD and Exchange in Azure, we don't host our Emails with a third party.

 

 

I know we can strip the suffix if we use RADIUS, but there is no Radius in our future setup.

 

Hope a great day for all 

 

Thanks,

Omar

Hi Omar.

 

I implemented AD Authentication recently on my MX84. It must be the sAMAccountName.

 

I searched a while about that. I don't remember where i found the answer but on this page you can see than the MX search by their sAMAccountName.

  1. If the bind is successful, the MX/MR searches the directory for the user logging in by their sAMAccountName attribute. If a match is found, the DN of the user is returned to the MX/MR.
