Hi Dhruv,

This question may be better suited for the TMG/ISA forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/Forefrontedgegeneral/

Maybe a moderator can move this thread for us?

 

In the meantime, here are some links on it:

IAS <msradiusframedipaddress> attribute

I am trying to modify the the Active Directory Dial-In Property programatically

======
To enter the IP address in the attribute, it must be entered as a 9 digit Decimal Number

To enter/configure this attribute, the IP address must be converted to a Decimal Number. Using the example, 172.29.255.130, here are the steps:
172.29.255.130 = AC.1D.FF.82 = AC1DFF82
(FFFFFFFF - AC1DFF82) + 1 = 1407320190
Then add neg sign number = -1407320190
msRADIUSFramedIPAddress  = -1407320190

You can also use a script to convert the IP address to a 9 digit Decimal number:

(Click the user dialog for script examples)
The scripts includes "IP Address to Integer" and "Integer to IP Address" functions.

Hi Ace,

Thanks a lot for the information. I went through links provided and it states 2 imp points.

1. Change the IP Address to 9 digit Decimal Number

2. We need to to use a script that will enable an option in the MS IAS Server.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc220505(v=prot.13).aspx

 

Please confirm where and how I have to use this script in the AD / LDAP.

Regards,

Dhruv

Hi Ace,

Further I tried using the script provided, it is just an read script for reading static IP address from the user profile.

http://www.wisesoft.co.uk/scripts/vbscript_read_msradiusframedipaddress_attribute_.aspx

But I cannot able to find any attributes in IAS to find the attibute.

I can find framed ip address attribute but could not able to find the same for msframed ip address

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa80/asdm60/selected_topics/enforce_AD.html

 

Any clues ?

Regards,

 

Dhruv

Actually, the msRADIUSFramedIPAddress is the Static IP you assign a user account in Active Directory (user account properties, Dial-in tab), when you want to force the same IP all the time for a specific user when they dialin or use VPN.

It's not something you would change in IAS. You can tell IAS to use the attribute to provide an account the same specific static IP when they connect. If IAS if a domain member, it will recognize AD and all the attributes in the Schema and you take advantage of that fact offering finite control, such as setting a specific IP.

Make sense so far?

Ok, so now for the next tricky thing, is not all vendors refer to attributes by the same name. Since Microsoft decided to use their own naming structure for many of the AD specific attributes (the attribute starts with an 'ms'), and this I believe is to not cause any conflicts with co-existing systems, Cisco uses a different name. I don't know if the name Cisco uses is the industry common name, but it appears it might be, because it starts with "IETF."

Anyway, Cisco Calls it the IETF-Framed-Radius-IP-Address. If you look at the ASA PDM's "Add LDAP Attribute" window below (which I got from the Cisco link you provided), they show the "customer Attribute" which is where you put in the "msRADIUSFramedIPAddress."
