Integrating the Content Security Manager with 

Microsoft Active Directory

To provide direct, single-sign-on integration with Microsoft’s Active Directory for applying filtering 
properties, the Content Security Manager includes the SonicWALL ADConnector application to 
provide an interface between the Content Security Manager filtering policies and Active Directory. 

Note:

 

Refer to the SonicWALL Content Security Manager 2100 CF Administrator’s Guide for 

complete instructions on installing, configuring and using the SonicWALL ADConnector 
application.

Alert:

 

The following instructions assume Active Directory is fully operational on your network.

Note:

 

If you are not using Active Directory, the Content Security Manager includes a built-in user 

and group authentication database. Refer to the SonicWALL Content Security Manager 2100 CF 
Administrator’s Guide,

 

located on your SonicWALL Resource CD or available at the SonicWALL 

documentation Web site:
