    2. In the Host Name or IP Address(es) field, enter the name or IP address of the terminal server on which SonicWall TSA is installed.

    3. At Port, enter the port number that the SonicWALL TSA is using to communicate with the appliance. The default port is 2259. Note that agents at different IP addresses can have the same port number.

    4. In the Shared Key field, enter the shared key that you created or generated in the SonicWALL TSA.

    5. Re-enter the shared key in the Confirm Shared Key field.

  4. Under the General Settings tab, select the following:
    1. Select the Enable Terminal Services agent authentication to use the TSA for user authentication. This setting is enabled by default.

    2. The Allow traffic from services on the terminal server to bypass user authentication in access rules is selected by default. This allows service traffic, such as Windows updates or anti-virus updates not associated with any user login session, to pass without authentication. That traffic normally would be blocked if the applicable firewall rules are set to require user authentication.

  5. Click Save.
