Introduction

These terms are used in the CLI commands:

The PEP and PDP processes are key components of the system. Through them, administrators control user access and network protection.

AD Query can run either on a Security Gateway that has been enabled with Identity Awareness or on a Log Server. When it runs on a Security Gateway, AD Query serves the Identity Awareness feature, and gives logging and policy enforcement. When it runs on a Log Server, AD Query gives identity logging. The command line tool helps control users’ statuses as well as troubleshoot and monitor the system.

The test_ad_connectivity utility runs over both the LDAP and WMI protocols. It is usually used by the SmartDashboard Identity Awareness first time wizard, but you can run it manually on the Security Gateway when needed.
