About User Management
The SonicWall network security appliance (firewall) provides a mechanism for managing locally and remotely authenticated users. User-level authentication gives users access to the LAN from remote locations on the Internet as well as a means to enforce or bypass content filtering policies for LAN users attempting to access the Internet. You can also permit only authenticated users to access VPN tunnels and send data across the encrypted connection.
The firewall authenticates all users as soon as they attempt to access network resources in a different zone (such as WAN, VPN, WLAN), which causes the network traffic to pass through the firewall. Users who log into a computer on the LAN, but perform only local tasks are not authenticated by the firewall. User-level authentication can be performed using a local user database, LDAP, RADIUS, or a combination of a local database with either LDAP or RADIUS. For networks with a large numbers of users, user authentication using LDAP or RADIUS servers can be more efficient.
SonicOS also provides Single Sign-On (SSO) capability. SSO can be used in conjunction with LDAP.
