Firewall Synchronization with Active Directory

Franklin Lv1Posted 2026-Jun-09 23:34

Hello.

For Sangfor firewalls, is there an SSO Agent tool or program that installs in Active Directory (like some other solutions) and functions as a log collector for synchronizing Active Directory with the firewall?

Yes, Sangfor provides an SSO (Single Sign-On) Agent solution for integration with Active Directory (AD) environments. The SSO Agent can be deployed on a Windows server/member server in the AD domain and works as an authentication/log collection component to help the firewall identify users based on their AD accounts.

The SSO workflow generally works as follows:

The SSO Agent monitors AD authentication events/logon activities from Windows domain users.
It collects the relationship between IP address ↔ AD username.
This user mapping information is synchronized with the Sangfor NGAF firewall.
The firewall can then apply user-based policies, such as access control, web filtering, application control, and reporting.

However, it is important to note that the SSO Agent is not a replacement for Active Directory and does not modify AD. It acts as a bridge between AD user authentication information and the firewall.

For environments where SSO Agent deployment is not preferred, Sangfor NGAF can also support other identity integration methods depending on the version and license, such as LDAP/AD integration.

In short:
✅ Yes, Sangfor has an SSO Agent for AD integration.
✅ It collects user login information and syncs IP-user mapping to the firewall.
✅ It enables identity-based security policies on Sangfor NGAF.

Thank you.

My firewall is version 8.0.95. Where can I get the SSO (Single Sign-On) agent? On my computer, it only lets me download some .exe files for login and logout, but when I try to run them with a GPO, it won't execute.

Could you guide me, please?
