Resolution
goal
Does Directory and Resource Administrator support RAS Secure ID or RADIUS authentication?
goal
Does DRA support Identity Access Management or Remote Access third-party applications?
goal
What alternative authentication methods does DRA support?
fact
Directory and Resource Administrator 7.x
fix
Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) requires authentication with a Microsoft Domain Controller in an NT or Active Directory environment, or the Security Accounts Manager (SAM) database on a managed computer. DRA does not support other authentication methods.
While DRA does not prohibit the use of a third party authentication method prior to authentication by Active Directory or a SAM database, DRA does not directly support such authentication. You should test the authentication process before deploying it in a production environment.
Other authentication methods, such as RADIUS, may be used in scenarios where access to the network is accomplished with a Remote Access server. DRA does not directly support this authentication method, but may be accessible from within the network once the remote access user is authenticated by RADIUS. Again, you should test the configuration before using it in a production environment.
