1 Features Overview
Sophos introduces clientless Single Sign On as a Sophos Transparent Authentication Suite
(STAS). This chapter gives an overview of its features and functionality.
Sophos Transparent Authentication Suite eliminates the need to remember multiple passwords as the user logs on to Sophos UTM automatically when he logs on to Windows with his Windows username and password. Moreover, it eliminates the installation of SSO clients on each workstation. Hence, it provides high ease-of-use to end-users and higher levels of security in addition to lowering operational costs involved in client installation.
STAS consists of two main components: l
STAS Agent (on the AD server) l
STAS Collector (on any machine)
STAS Agent: Monitors user authentication requests on the domain controller and sends information to the Collector for Sophos authorization.
STAS Collector: Collects user authentication requests from multiple agents, processes the requests and sends them to Sophos UTM for authorization.
1.1 Operating Principle of STAS
STAS Operating Principle
1.1 Operating Principle of STAS
1 Features Overview
1.
The user logs on to the Active Directory domain controller from any workstation in the
LAN. The domain controller authenticates the user credentials.
Access is only granted for users logged onto the domain. Users who are logged into a workstation directly (or locally) but not logged in as a domain user will not be authenticated and are considered as “unauthenticated” users.
2.
The STAS Agent captures and communicates this authentication process to the STAS
Collector over the default TCP port (5566) in real time.
3.
The STAS Collector registers the user in the local database and communicates the user's IP address and username to Sophos UTM over its default UDP port (6077).
4.
Sophos UTM queries the Active Directory domain controller to determine the user’s group membership and registers the user in the Sophos UTM database.
5.
The STAS Collector regularly polls all workstations available in its user map to check if the same user is still logged in.

Default: disabled
If enabled, it is recommended to use the WMI detection method.
If you enable Logoff Detection Settings, ensure that the firewalls on all workstations are configured to allow traffic to and from the domain controller.
l
If ping is selected as log off detection method, ensure that the workstation firewall allows ping packets.
l
If WMI polling method is selected, ensure that the workstation firewall allows traffic over UDP port 135.
