Authenticating AD Users and Match known Users

Hello,

We want Active directory users to get access to the internet through XG 230 Firewall running the latest Firmware.

Current Setup:

  • Using STAS on Windows Server
  • All users were migrated from AD to Sophos
  • Firewall rule created (attached to this thread)
  • In the rule I had to add the IP address of the computer in Source Network ad devices so that this IP gets internet connection
  • Connection works fine on the laptop with this IP for any user, now I add the migrated username XXX@mydomain.local under match known users and select it, shouldn't only the user xxx receive internet connection on this IP? But this is not happening as the connection stops completely on the laptop when the users is selected under match known users
  • What is the best practice in order to authenticate AD users and give them access to the internet please? 
  • Should I add the IP in the firewall rule or not, because if I remove it the user doesn't get internet connection although listed under match known users.
  • Another questions please, when creating a new firewall rule, followed by a NAT rule, I'm unable to see the new rule under, Routing\SD-WAN Policy, in this case how can I set the gateway the this rule will follow ( We have two gateways in our setup)

Thank you in advance for your assitance.

  • Hi,

    You setup a Nat rule then apply it using the search-wan policy to direct the traffic to the desired gateway. There is a kba on the subject. You do not need a Nat rule for each firewall rule, you can use a generic Nat rule unless you are setting up hairpins for server access.

    you could investigate linked Nat rules as well.

  • Hi,

    Thank you for the reply, 

    Are you suggesting that the NAT rule is causing the issue and not allowing the users under match known users not to connect?
