In Active Directory, the default primary group for a user is Domain Users. AD primary groups will not be synced with XG Firewall because AD is not sending the primary group. If the user's primary group is changed to another, this leads to a different membership behavior in the Sophos Firewall.

Configuration on Active Directory. Start - Administrative Tools - Local Security Policy to view the security settings.

Overview

This overview explains how Sophos Firewall uses Active Directory to authenticate users and manage access control.

Sophos Xg Active Directory Authentication

When an Active Directory user signs in to Sophos Firewall for the first time, they are automatically added to the default group. If the user's Active Directory group exists in Sophos Firewall they are added to that group.

When a user signs in to Sophos Firewall, it authenticates the user by verifying them against the list of users created during the integration with Active Directory. When the user is authenticated, Sophos Firewall communicates with Active Directory to get additional authorization data for access control.

If your Active Directory server is down, the authentication request returns a Wrong username/password message.

Sophos Xg Active Directory Login

When you've configured multiple Active Directory servers, Sophos Firewall performs validation against your Active Directory servers in the order configured in the web admin console.
