Allowed Target Services - Query

Hi all,

We are running 2 X SG450 Appliances (Active Passive), Firmware Version 9.405-5.

We are about to go live with our deployment and we are just running through the configuration to ensure that the UTMs are doing what they are meant to do.

My question however, is in relation to the 'Allowed Target Services' in Web Protection > Filtering Options > Misc. I see that, by default, there are several services listed here (HTTP, HTTP Proxy, HTTPS etc.). Among them is LDAP and LDAP-SSL.

What is the downside, if any, of removing LDAP and LDAP-SSL from this list of allowed services? Our Web Filter Profiles are set to operate in Standard Mode with Active Directory SSO as the method of default authentication. Access to the Internet is blocked if authentication fails.

Would removing these entries lead to users not being authenticated and therefore lose Internet access?

Many thanks for your time and assistance in this matter.

Best regards,

John P
