Active Directory Servers

A list of Active Directory servers are used in Manager to enforce firewall rules when Require Authentication is enabled as the primary response action. When authentication is required by the firewall rule, the Sensor initially attempts to obtain the username transparently by snooping login attempts from the list of Trusted Domain Controllers. If the username cannot be obtained transparently, the Sensor redirects the browser to the guest portal. The Active Directory servers are then used to authenticate the user's credentials entered in the guest portal.
