Assistance Required: Importing Users from Active Directory to Sophos XG home Edition

Hello,

I am using Sophos XG Home Edition on VMware and have configured it to connect with Active Directory. While I am able to import groups successfully, I do not see an option to import individual users directly from Active Directory. I would like to know if there is a way to import users directly without requiring them to log in via the User Portal.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello Ahmad,

As Dirk already said, there is no import option. But you can set the imported group as default. Then you get Sophos STAS ready so you could gradually collect the users. At least no one has to take a detour via the user portal. Then the users are also entered in Sophos when they log in to AD. Maybe that will make things easier for you

Hi Patrick,

I tried to set up SSO in our company and installed a STAS SSO on Active Directory, but I had problems moving from one subnet to another. I have 4 networks, 2 of them are LAN, but the client connects to the internet only on the network where Active Directory is present.

Best regards Ahmad
