Sophos XG 18.5 MR1 - AD Authentication - Long username

Hey,

We have a XG setup with AD authentication, and it seems to be pulling from the username from the "pre windows 2000" field instead of the normal username field. This means we have a customer with a long username (firstname.lastname) where the last few letters are cut of when he logs into the vpn or user portal. Is there any way to grab the full name instead?

  • This is the SAMAccountname. 

    The authentication process in Sophos accepts the UPN (basically username + domain) and the SAMAccountname. 

    If the user enters the SAMAccountname, the firewall will shoot this against all AD servers, using the Domain configured within the AD Server on SFOS - servers - domain name. 

    SFOS should fetch the UPN regardless (name+Domain). How long is this in your setup? And do you have a Radius server?
