Hence, delivering high ease-of-use to end-users, higher levels of security in addition to lowering operational costs involved in client installation. Cyberoam Transparent Authentication Suite (CTAS) CTA Suite consists of CTA Agent It monitors user authentication request coming on the domain controller and sends information to the Collector for Cyberoam authentication. CTA Collector It collects the user authentication request from multiple agents, processes the request and sends to Cyberoam for authentication. How does Cyberoam CTA Agent work? User Authentication Information Collection Process 1. User tries to log on to the Active Directory Domain Controller from any workstation in LAN. Domain Controller tries to authenticate user credentials. 2. This authentication process is captured and communicated to CTA Collector over default port 5566 by CTA Agent real time. 3. CTA Collector registers user in the Local database and communicates user information to Cyberoam over the default port 6060 4. Cyberoam queries Active Directory to determine users group membership and registers user in Cyberoam database Based on data from CTA Agent, Cyberoam queries AD server to determine group membership and based on which access is granted or denied. Users logged into a workstation directly i.e. locally but not logged into the domain will not be authenticated and are considered as Unauthenticated or Guest user. For users that are not logged into the domain, the HTTP Login screen prompting for a manual login will be displayed for further authentication.
