What Is Single Sign-On?
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a transparent user authentication mechanism that provides privileged 
access to multiple network resources with a single workstation login. SonicWALL PRO and TZ 
series security appliances (SonicWALL security appliances) running SonicOS Enhanced 4.0 
provide SSO functionality using the SonicWALL Single Sign-On Agent (SSO Agent) to identify 
user activity based on workstation IP address. SSO is configured in the Users > Settings page 
of the SonicOS management interface. SSO is separate from the Authentication method for 
login
 settings, which can be used at the same time for authentication of VPN/L2TP client users 
or administrative users.
SonicWALL SSO Agent identifies users by IP address using a SonicWALL ADConnector-
compatible protocol and automatically determines when a user has logged out to prevent 
unauthorized access. Based on data from SonicWALL SSO Agent, the SonicWALL security 
appliance queries LDAP or the local database to determine group membership. Memberships 
are matched against policy, and based on user privileges, access is granted or denied. The 
configured inactivity and session limit timers apply with SSO, though users who are logged out 
are automatically and transparently logged back in when they send further traffic. 
Users logged into a workstation directly but not logged into the domain will not be 
authenticated. For users that are not logged into the domain, the following screen will display, 
indicating that a manual login will be required for further authentication.
