When iMaster NCE-Campus functions as an authentication server, it can connect to common user data sources, such as AD and LDAP.

The statement is correct. Huawei's iMaster NCE-Campus platform includes a built-in RADIUS server component that enables it to function as a comprehensive authentication server for network access control. A key feature of this component is its ability to integrate with external user identity and data sources. It can be configured to connect to standard enterprise directory services such as Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and other Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) compliant servers. This integration allows iMaster NCE-Campus to authenticate users against the existing corporate user database, retrieve user attributes and group memberships, and enforce differentiated access policies without requiring the creation of a separate, duplicate user database on the NCE-Campus platform itself.

This is a "TRUE OR FALSE" question. The statement is factually correct as per official product documentation. Therefore, selecting "False" would be incorrect because it contradicts the documented capabilities of the iMaster NCE-Campus platform. The ability to integrate with AD/LDAP is a fundamental feature for any enterprise-grade network access control solution to leverage existing identity management systems.

1. Huawei iMaster NCE-Campus V300R022C00 Administrator Guide: In the section detailing user access management, the guide explicitly describes the process of configuring external data sources. It states, "iMaster NCE-Campus can connect to AD, LDAP, and third-party HTTP servers to synchronize user data, enabling users to be authenticated by the external data source." This confirms the platform's capability to use AD and LDAP as user data sources for authentication. (Reference Section: User Access > User Management > Configuring an External Data Source).

2. Huawei iMaster NCE-Campus V300R021C00 Feature Description: The documentation on access security features outlines the platform's authentication capabilities. It specifies that for 802.1X and Portal authentication, the built-in RADIUS server can forward authentication requests or directly query external user databases. The document lists "AD and LDAP servers" as supported external authentication data sources. (Reference Section: Security > Access Security > Authentication and Authorization).
