XG Firewall and Sophos Central different AD sync tools

mh3000

Hi, 

I've been using the XG for a few time and, as far as I know, XG Firewalls use the STAS installed in the Active Directory Sever to syncronize  the users while Sophos Central does this with Sophos Central AD sync Utility. 

Since I'm planning to allow manage of the firewall from Sophos Central, is there a way that I can sync the users from my Sophos Central to a XG Firewall (or viceversa)? or is it possible to use a single AD sync tool for both Sophos Central and the XG? 

 

Thanks,

    Hi  

    As of now, it is not possible to sync users between Sophos Central and XG firewall. Also, it is not possible to use a single AD sync tool for both Sophos Central and XG firewall.

    If you don't mind, May I know the purpose behind achieving this? Maybe, I can suggest some alternatives.

    Actually you could use Heartbeat? 

    Heartbeat uses "Synchronized User ID". 

    So to speak, the User of the Central Endpoint (CIXA) will be pushed via Heartbeat to XG. 

    XG will use this information to verify the group directly against LDAP / AD.
