Hi,
I'm hoping for suggestions to replace a Watchguard Firebox currently
in use.
The site has many restrictions/rules in place and until recently the
Firebox was effective in limiting access to certain web sites.
Unfortunately the Watchguard system authenticates the user and records
the IP address of the computer the user was on at the time of
authentication.
Now that we have moved to TS2008 and all users have the IP address of
the Terminal Server the Firebox authentication system is useless.

I'm looking for a Terminal Server friendly system that will allow us
to control what web sites a user is permitted to access and to log
those visits.

I've had a cursory look at Sonicwall, Astaro, Endian. It is not clear
if TS is supported and if they use the same authentication method as
Watchguard of associating a user with an IP address.

Any ideas welcome.

TIA
David

I am currently running a Sonicwall with content filtering in my
terminal services environment. The Sonicwall works perfectly for our
network design. The way ours is configured it filters all users and if
someone needs access to a filtered site (IE: HR, Management) they log
in as a user on the firewall and are able to bypass the content
filtering. We are not in a domain but I think you can authenticate
users through the domain to the Sonicwall and give them the
appropriate rights automatically.
