Best or recommended way to connect PA to Windows Domain

L1 Bithead

What is the recommended way to connect a PA box to a windows domain?

I see know there is a radius way of doing it, and i know this is the way other like to configure it.

But there is alot more work configuring, and reconfiguring if i want to change/add any groups or access.

Is there a reason we should not use Kerberos or LDAP?

Hi

I recomendate to start from https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/docs/DOC-6591

I'm using agent User-id like most of us, so for start I recomendate this option.

That describes the LDAP way, and this is the way i have testet the most.

The reason for connecting to a domain is to authenticate users for GlobalProtect, and to give access to different resources from domain groups.

Yes, but why You think about other posibilities if You are using Microsoft AD?

Radius/Kerberos IMHO is dedicated in tother scenario.
