This is a typical implementation when using Network Policy Server (NPS) with a Cisco ASA VPN appliance to manage group and access policies.
NPS is Microsoft's implementation of a Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) server and proxy. It is the successor to the Internet Authentication Service (IAS).
As a RADIUS server, NPS performs authentication, authorization, and accounting for wireless, authenticating switch, and remote access dial-up and virtual private network (VPN) connections.
