Like computers, users and LDAP groups can be set up on the desktop as individual users or user groups.
You can then define rules for these desktop objects that are assigned to the users as soon as they log in. When a user logs in from a computer that certain rules are assigned to, the user is assigned the rules for this computer as well as their own user-specific rules. You can select users and LDAP groups from the local user database of your LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall and from the OpenLDAP or Active Directory authentication server and add them to the user groups on the desktop. There is also a special Default User Group that can be selected on the desktop. Users cannot be added to this user group. It includes all of those users who can login but have not yet been set up as individual users or as members of another user group on the desktop. If a default user group has been set up on the desktop and you have assigned rules to it, users who are subsequently created on the Active Directory server are automatically added to this default user group. After logging in, these new users are automatically assigned the default rules without any further administrative work.
