Information About the Identity Firewall
Figure 1-5 shows a WAN-based deployment to support a remote site. The Active Directory server and
the AD Agent are installed on the main site LAN. The clients are located at a remote site and connect to
the Identity Firewall components over a WAN.
Figure 1-5 WAN-based Deployment
Figure 1-6 also shows a WAN-based deployment to support a remote site. The Active Directory server
is installed on the main site LAN. However, the AD Agent is installed and access by the clients at the
remote site. The remote clients connect to the Active Directory servers at the main site over a WAN.
Figure 1-6 WAN-based Deployment with Remote AD Agent
Figure 1-7 shows an expanded remote site installation. An AD Agent and Active Directory servers are
installed at the remote site. The clients access these components locally when logging into network
resources located at the main site. The remote Active Directory server must synchronize its data with the
central Active Directory servers located at the main site.
