1 AD Integration

"AD Integration" enables you to integrate WFilter NG Firewall with microsoft active directory, so you can:

• Detect AD username of online devices.
• Set internet access and bandwidth shaper policies based on AD users.

2 Settings

To enable "AD Integration", the following conditions must be met:

• A valid enterprise license of WFilter NG Firewall.
• A valid active directory.
• Admin access to the active directory(The admin user shall belong to the "Domain Admins" group.)

• Notice:
  • WFilter NG Firewall uses different machanism to retrieve logon domain users when the DC is in external or internal network.
  • When "automatically sync domain users" is enabled, new or deleted domain users will be synced to WFilter.
  • WFilter detects a domain user when it login into the active directory. So you might need to wait sometime to see logon users.
  • The default user entry timeout is 30 hours. If no re-logon happens in 30 hours after last time logon, this username will be timeout.
  • Some programs in the client device will automaticaly logon into the domain with a different AD user. In this case, you can add this user into the "Exception List".
