Configuring User Settings

In addition to the regular authentication methods, SonicOS/X allows you to use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to authenticate users. LDAP is compatible with Microsoft’s Active Directory.

For SonicWall appliances, you can select the SonicWall Single Sign-On Agent to provide Single Sign-On functionality. Single Sign-On (SSO) is a transparent user authentication mechanism that provides privileged access to multiple network resources with a single workstation login. SonicWall network security appliances provide SSO functionality using the SonicWall Single Sign-On Agent (SSO Agent) to identify user activity based on workstation IP address when Active Directory is being used for authentication. The SonicWall SSO Agent must be installed on a computer in the same domain as Active Directory.
