PIX PPTP - Windows domain authentication

Hello;

 

Thank you to everyone who answered my PPTP/NAT Bypass question-very helpful
info from everyone.

 

My next question is simpler:

 

Is there a way to "pass through" Windows domain authentication through a
PPTP tunnel?  Obviously, when VPN'd into a network, its like you're
physically plugged into the LAN, but not authenticated to a Windows domain
controller.  While users can authenticate to LAN resources on a per-resource
basis (eg: accessing \\servername\share <file:///\\servername\share>
prompts you for credentials), it would be slick if there were a way to have
the user be more or less officially logged into the windows domain, either
automatically as part of the VPN session, or even manually.

 

Does RADIUS have this added feature?  I understand that RADIUS is
traditionally for authentication without user accounts local to the PIX...
just wondering if it or IAS has some sort of feature that allows this to
happen.

 

Thanks in advance.
