NT Authentication using Wingate Internet Client.

[scotttiamit]

Hi I have Wingate all up and go and I am currently using the Java applet for authentication with no problems. I would however like to use the Internet Client to authenticate against NT. This sounds easy enough but the WGIC will be installed on a 2003 Terminal Server, will this work OK in this situation?

I do not want to have to setup users and passwords all the time, I just want to do it in our NT domain controller.

Also for WGIC to work does the WinGate machine have to be a Domain Controller?

Thanks.

One thing.

If you are using Terminal server, WinGate assumes that for any one IP there is only one user, so the first person to connect to WinGate from the terminal server will authenticate, and then everyone else on that terminal server will be assumed to be them. We are looking for ways around this at the moment, but it is a major restructuring of WinGate, since it is fairly deeply entrenched indexing a client based on the IP.

It was my understanding that operating in a TS environment workes fine using the java client (which is what we may have to do once using the TS is operational), I was just curious if it would also work using the WGIC. I guess I'll just have to do the testing and see what happens.

Thanks.

people are running the WGIC on TS, but they always run into the problem that since the TS only has one IP for all the users, After the first user connects from the TS, no-one else authenticates, since the IP of the TS is authenticated to WinGate.

This happens with the Java login as well. It is a factor of using a Terminal Server (which basically shares the IP with all the users of the TS) with WinGate which authenticates users based on IP.
