WMI is correct – LDAP is not a mechanism, it’s protocols
Correct.
WNI is one of the first items you need to config, if you plan on using Identity Awareness and LDAP. And if your company policy is to not give you a domain admin account. Well have fun working with the AD guys, setting up a user with custom WMI rights.
AD Query
AD Query is an easy to deploy, clientless identity acquisition method. It is based on Active Directory integration and it is completely transparent to the user.
The technology is based on querying the Active Directory Security Event Logs and extracting the user and computer mapping to the network address from them. It is based on Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), a standard Microsoft protocol. The Security Gateway communicates directly with the Active Directory domain controllers and does not require a separate server.
No installation is necessary on the clients or on the Active Directory server.
