How To - Implement Clientless Single Sign On Authentication with Active Directory
1
Applicable to ndash All the versions of Windows
This article describes how to implement Clientless single sign on authentication with Active Directory integration
Cyberoam ndash ADS integration feature allows Cyberoam to map the users and groups from Active Directory for the purpose of authentication
Prerequisites
NetBIOS Domain name
FQDN Domain name
Search DN
Active Directory Server IP address
Administrator Username and Password (Active Directory Domain)
IP address of Cyberoam Interface connected to Active Directory server
Import AD groups
Configure Clientless SSO
Configuring ADS authentication
Logon to Cyberoam Web Admin Console and follow the below given steps
Step 1 Create ADS user groups
Please check Cyberoam version before you continue as this is version specific step
All Versions below 953 build 14
Go to Groupgt Add Group and create all the ADS user groups
For mapping the ADS user groups with the Cyberoam user groups create all the ADS user groups into Cyberoam before ADS users log on to Cyberoam for the first time If the ADS groups are not created in Cyberoam all the users will be assigned to the Default group of Cyberoam
If all the ADS user groups are created in Cyberoam before users log on to Cyberoam then user will be automatically created in the respective group when they log on to Cyberoam
Version 95314 or above
Instead of creating groups again in Cyberoam you can import AD groups into Cyberoam using Import Wizard
One can import groups only after integrating and defining AD parameters into Cybeoam
If you intend to import group skip this step
Step 2 Define Authentication parameters
Go to UsergtAuthentication Settings
Select bdquoActive Directory‟ under Configure Authentication amp Integration parameters

Select Default Group
Cyberoam will create user(s) in the respective groups if groups are already created in Cyberoam otherwise user will be created in the group selected as Default group
Click Update to save the settings
Step 3 Configure Cyberoam to use Active Directory
Click Add to configure Active Directory parameters
Specify IP address of Active Directory
Specify TCPIP port number in Port field It is the port on which ADS server listens for the authentication requests On Cyberoam appliance the default port for ADS traffic is 389 If your AD server is using another port specify port number in Port field

Specify NetBIOS Domain name If you do not know NetBIOS name refer to section bdquoDetermine NetBIOS Name FQDN and Search DN‟
Specify Active Directory Administrator Username and password
Cyberoam allows implementing AD integration in two ways
Tight Integration ndash With tight integration Cyberoam synchronizes groups with AD every time the user tries to logon Hence even if the group of a user is changed in Cyberoam on subsequent log in attempt user logs on as the member of the same group as configured in Active Directory In this case group membership of each user is as defined in the Active Directory
Loose Integration ndash With loose integration Cyberoam does the Group management and does not synchronize groups with AD when user tries to logon By default users will be the member of Cyberoam default group irrespective of Active Directory group administrator can change the group membership Cyberoam will use authentication attribute for authenticating users with Active Directory
Click ldquoTest Connectionrdquo to check whether Cyberoam is able to connect to the Active Directory or not If Cyberoam is able to connect to the Active Directory click Add to save the configuration
Step 4 Add Domain Query
If Cyberoam is able to connect to the Active Directory click Add to enter Domain name

Clientless Single Sign on Implementation
Transparent Authentication (Clientless Single Sign on)
Cyberoam introduces Clientless Single Sign On as a Cyberoam Transparent Authentication Suite (CTAS)
With Single Sign On authentication user automatically logs on to the Cyberoam when logs on to Windows through his windows username and password Hence eliminating the need of multiple logins and username amp passwords
But Clientless Single Sign On not only eliminates the need to remember multiple passwords ndash Windows and Cyberoam it also eliminates the installation of SSO clients on each workstation Hence delivering high ease-of-use to end-users higher levels of security in addition to lowering operational costs involved in client installation
Cyberoam Transparent Authentication Suite (CTAS)
CTA Suite consists of
CTA Agent ndash It monitors user authentication request coming on the domain controller and sends information to the Collector for Cyberoam authentication
CTA Collector ndash It collects the user authentication request from multiple agents processes the request and sends to Cyberoam for authentication
How does Cyberoam CTA Agent work
User Authentication Information Collection Process
1 User tries to log on to the Active Directory Domain Controller from any workstation in LAN Domain Controller tries to authenticate user credentials
2 This authentication process is captured and communicated to CTA Collector over default port 5566 by CTA Agent real time
3 CTA Collector registers user in the Local database and communicates user information to Cyberoam over the default port 6060
4 Cyberoam queries Active Directory to determine user‟s group membership and registers user in Cyberoam database
Based on data from CTA Agent Cyberoam queries AD server to determine group membership and based on which access is granted or denied Users logged into a workstation directly ie locally but not logged into the domain will not be authenticated and are considered as ldquoUnauthenticatedrdquo or ldquoGuestrdquo user For users that are not logged into the domain the HTTP Login screen prompting for a manual login will be displayed for further authentication
Step 6 Installing CTA Suite

3 CTA Collector registers user in the Local database and communicates user information to Cyberoam over the default port 6060
4 Cyberoam queries Active Directory to determine user‟s group membership and registers user in Cyberoam database
Based on data from CTA Agent Cyberoam queries AD server to determine group membership and based on which access is granted or denied Users logged into a workstation directly ie locally but not logged into the domain will not be authenticated and are considered as ldquoUnauthenticatedrdquo or ldquoGuestrdquo user For users that are not logged into the domain the HTTP Login screen prompting for a manual login will be displayed for further authentication

Clientless Single Sign on Implementation
Transparent Authentication (Clientless Single Sign on)
Cyberoam introduces Clientless Single Sign On as a Cyberoam Transparent Authentication Suite (CTAS)
With Single Sign On authentication user automatically logs on to the Cyberoam when logs on to Windows through his windows username and password Hence eliminating the need of multiple logins and username amp passwords
But Clientless Single Sign On not only eliminates the need to remember multiple passwords ndash Windows and Cyberoam it also eliminates the installation of SSO clients on each workstation Hence delivering high ease-of-use to end-users higher levels of security in addition to lowering operational costs involved in client installation
Cyberoam Transparent Authentication Suite (CTAS)
CTA Suite consists of
CTA Agent ndash It monitors user authentication request coming on the domain controller and sends information to the Collector for Cyberoam authentication
CTA Collector ndash It collects the user authentication request from multiple agents processes the request and sends to Cyberoam for authentication
How does Cyberoam CTA Agent work
User Authentication Information Collection Process
1 User tries to log on to the Active Directory Domain Controller from any workstation in LAN Domain Controller tries to authenticate user credentials
2 This authentication process is captured and communicated to CTA Collector over default port 5566 by CTA Agent real time
3 CTA Collector registers user in the Local database and communicates user information to Cyberoam over the default port 6060
