Let’s settle the debate: Which Sangfor SSO method actually works best in a messy, real-world AD environment?

The library says Script Mode has the highest success rate, but IWA SSO offers that 'zero-touch' magic using NTLM/Kerberos. We also have the SSO Agent, which doesn't require AD changes but can't always sync logouts effectively.
Discussion Points:
  • In your experience, which mode is the most 'stable' when dealing with remote users or VPNs?
  • Have you ever had to fall back to the DKEY pendrive for ultra-secure, audit-free users?
  • What’s the one 'gotcha' you found when setting up IWA in IE or Chrome?"

If the environment is large, has multiple sites, VPN users, VDI, terminal servers, and a mix of Windows versions, Script Mode is usually the most forgiving.

The DKEY approach still has its place.

Typical use cases:
Administrators, Finance departments, Industrial control systems, Highly regulated environments, Shared workstations

Its biggest advantage is that authentication is tied to possession of the device rather than browser sessions or AD state.
