Active Directory & Client Authentication

[dimarc]

Hello everybody,

I'm new with Checkpoint and I want a confirmation.
I want that client Authentication works with my AD server, so that the users must go to the authentication page (port 900), enter theirs credentials AD and will be authenticated for any services for example.

If I create a AD server in the OPSEC tab, I can retrieve the users from my AD.
If I set up a rule like this, will the authentication work?

AD USER ANY ANY ANY Client_Authentication ANY ANY ANY?

Regards and sorry if my question is simple for you.

Marc

presuming you follow the above guide to link your AD to Check Point SMARTCenter then yes should work, providing you don't have any rules below that will allow the connection without authenticating
