AD Integration

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.
• Record AD users internet activity.

For example:

• The real-time bandwidth will show AD username:

• Choose applied-to users(AD OU & users):

2 Settings

• Domain Controller: Domain Controller ip address.
• Port: port of your DC, 389 in default.
• Domain Admin: domain admin user(The admin user shall belong to the "Domain Admins" group.)
• Domain Name: domain dns name.
• DC Location: where is your DC located?
• Script Key: communication key for the adclient logon/logoff script.
• Advanced Settings:
  • Interval of polling domain controller, 10 seconds in default.
  • User entry timeout, user will expire upon timeout.
  • Sync domain users, automatically retrieve users from domain controller.

• 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".
