SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
• Import user groups – You can click this button to configure user groups on the SonicWALL
by retrieving the user group names from your LDAP server. The Import user groups button
launches a window containing the list of user group names available for import to the
SonicWALL.
In the LDAP Import User Groups window, select the checkbox for each group that you want
to import into the SonicWALL, and then click Save selected.
Having user groups on the SonicWALL with the same name
as existing LDAP/AD user
groups allows SonicWALL group memberships and privileges to be granted upon
successful LDAP authentication.
Alternatively, you can manually create user group
s on the LDAP/AD server with the same
names as SonicWALL built-in groups (such as ‘Guest Services’, ‘Content Filtering Bypass’,
‘Limited Administrators’) and assign users to these groups in the directory. This also allows
SonicWALL group memberships to be granted upon successful LDAP authentication.
The SonicWALL appliance can retrieve group membership
s efficiently in the case of Active
Directory by taking advantage of its unique trait of returning a ‘memberOf’ attribute for a
user.
