Cyberoam Transparent Authentication Suite (CTAS)

Welcome to Cyberoam Transparent Authentication Suite installation guide. This guide describes
the installation instructions for installing CTAS Suite on Active Directory Domain controller.
Feature Overview
Cyberoam introduces Clientless Single Sign On as a Cyberoam Transparent Authentication Suite
(CTAS).
With Single Sign On authentication, user automatically logs on to the Cyberoam when logs on to
Windows through their windows username and password. Hence, eliminating the need of multiple
logins and usernames & passwords.
Moreover, Clientless Single Sign On not only eliminates the need to remember multiple passwords
– Windows and Cyberoam, it also eliminates the installation of SSO clients on each workstation.
Hence, delivering high ease-of-use to end-users, higher levels of security in addition to lowering
operational costs involved in client installation.
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 Suite 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
TCP port 5566 by CTA Agent in real time.
3. CTA Collector registers user in the Local database and communicates user information to
Cyberoam over the default UDP port 6060.
4. Cyberoam queries Active Directory to determine user’s 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.
