Active Directory authentication is an enhanced version of NT Domain authentication. The Kerberos protocol is
leveraged for authentication of users, who are grouped in Organizational Units (OUs). In particular the Active
Directory server can support more than a million users given is structure while the NT Domain server is limited to
thousands. The congured Authentication Servers and Active Directory domain(s) are used to validate the user
with the directory of users on the external Windows based server. This authentication option is common for SSL
VPN client users and is also useful for IPsec / PPTP / L2TP client authentication.
