I've heard from sophos, that the persistent sso feature is not planned, in release 9.3. Could you tell us, in which release this feature is planned? For TMG replacement scenarios we need this feature, urgently.
I agree. We also need the TMG FBA with active directory. This is one of the reasons why I'm holding off on getting a UTM and keeping Forefront for now.
Be aware that feature adds for a new version are decided upon around release time of the previous version. Example: Adds for 9.4 were decided when 9.3 was released. So if you were to create a feature request today, it would potentially be considered for addition two versions out or further from the current release. Q4 at the earliest. Create a feature request, then get several hundred others to add points and you'll have a shot for urgency. It would also help to contact Sophos sales directly and let them know what you'd like added and that the lack of the feature is keeping you from purchasing.
