Configuring AD authentication

AD is a directory service provided by Windows 2000 Server and later versions. It saves information of

objects on a network and allows administrators and users to query the information. AD uses structured

data storage, which is the basis of the directory information logical structure. The SSL VPN system can

cooperate with the existing AD server of an enterprise seamlessly to provide AD authentication for users
in the enterprise.
For successful AD authentication of a user, you must also configure the user information on the AD

authentication server, create user groups, and add the user to the user groups. Make sure that the user

groups configured on the authentication server exist on the SSL VPN gateway. Otherwise, the user cannot
log in.
