Section 6 - Securing Your Network
Congure Active Directory Server
Path: Security > Authentication > External Auth Server > AD Server
Active Directory authentication is an enhanced version of NT Domain authentication. The Kerberos protocol is
leveraged for authentication of users, who are grouped in Organizational Units (OUs). In particular the Active
Directory server can support more than a million users given is structure while the NT Domain server is limited
to thousands.
The congured Authentication Servers and Active Directory domain(s) are used to validate the user with the
directory of users on the external Windows based server. This authentication option is common for SSL VPN
client users and is also useful for IPSec / PPTP / L2TP client authentication.
To congure your AD Server:
1. Go to Security > Authentication > External Auth Server > AD Server tab.
2. Complete the AD server information from the table below and click Save.
