Hi Techbash,<br />
<br />
You can add Guest Services either to the Aruba or the SonicWALL. I don't have an Aruba in front of me right now but its your preference. You can bypass authentication on either device.<br />
<br />
Is there something hindering you from doing this?<br />
<br />
Let me know. Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for the comment.<br />
Sonicwall is set to authenticate from SSO and local credentials. <br />
Aruba also has its own guest authentication. So, what i am thinking is once it is authenticated in Aruba wireless, should pass the sonicwall credentials. so i can avoid double authentication.<br />
<br />
I guess there should be somewhere in Aruba a configuration to authenticate its guests through Sonicwall. This is what i want to know.<br />
<br />
I hope i explained well !
</div>


<div>
Is it truly SSO or is it just LDAP over RADIUS? True SSO auths, typically via RADIUS, the user using Windows Creds in the background for every computer connecting to the SonicWALL. Is this how you have it setup?<br />
<br />
From my understanding you are using Aruba WAP(s) for all wireless meaning multile VLANs (guest as well as WLAN, etc.). Is that correct?

Hi, sorry for the delay in response. Yes, that is correct.

Hi,<br />
I have Aruba wireless APs and sonic-wall firewall in the configuration. How can I utilize the guest access of Aruba accesspoints and that pass the sonicwall? I want to avoid guests enter wireless credentials and then Sonicwall credentials.<br />
<br />
Any support is appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Aruba wireless and Sonicwall firewall work together

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.
