Username Formats and Windows Authentication

Cisco Secure ACS supports Windows authentication for usernames in a variety of
formats. When Cisco Secure ACS attempts Windows authentication, it first
determines the username format and submits the username to Windows in the
applicable manner. To implement reliable Windows authentication with
Cisco Secure ACS, you need to understand how Cisco Secure ACS determines
username format, how it supports for each of these formats, and how the types of
support are related.
