Syntax for username for AD authentication??

Hi All

I have SSL VPN box with AD authentication. I want to ask when user sign in to SSL VPN then what is the format of username they should use for the authentication to AD?

It should be like this:

Username: bob.alice (that is simple user name)

or

Username:[email protected]

or

username:ABC\bob.alice

I really appreciate if some body guide me. I am using windows 2003 server in one office and in other office windows 2008. Kindly guide me for the both servers.

Thanks

Re: Syntax for username for AD authentication??

The first and third options will work with the AD/NT server type, as mentioned by @gerryR. If you want to use the third option, ABC\bob.alice, please be sure to enable the option for the domain to be included in the username on the AD/NT server instance.

If you want to use [email protected] you will need to use the LDAP server instance type and point it to your domain controller. The variable for username will change from samaccountname=<USERNAME> to userPrincipalName=<USERNAME>.

Re: Syntax for username for AD authentication??

Assuming you have AD authentication setup on the appliance users should be able to log in with their simple username:

bob.alice
