Hey,
I’m currently looking for the best way to get AD user authentication working for web filtering.
At the moment, we’re using STAS to authenticate our users, but this causes several issues, as RDP is not supported.
Our consultant recommended synchronized user ID authentication over Heartbeat as a potential solution to our problems. However, the first test with Sophos Endpoint and synchronized user ID authentication has been unsatisfactory. When we switch networks, we have to wait 2-3 minutes for the new connection to be recognized by the firewall.
The consultant’s response was to use both STAS and synchronized user ID authentication, but this is simply not working. When STAS is activated, we see near-zero synchronization of user IDs.
Are we doing something wrong or are our expectations too high?
What is the best solution for authenticating AD users for web filtering?
Thanks.
