I work at Heathwood Hall in Columbia, SC. We had students
authenticating to the SonicWall for Internet access. This worked just
fine on our Pro3060. It was not a single sign-on situation where a sign
on to the computer is passed to the Sonic Wall for Internet Access, but
we were able to populate the SW with users by using an LDAP lookup
against or Active Directory. We were well pleased. We did this happily
for three years. We dropped doing this this year as we experienced
other network troubles and were trying to identify the culprit. It
turned out SW had nothing to do with it. We will probably return to
this next school year. I believe SonicWall Enhanced OS 4 has support for
single sign-on authentication which is a really nice feature to add and
one that was only available in more expensive solutions. This does not
work with Mac OSX so we will not implement this feature as we are a
cross-platform school.
