dastrix Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Hi All Has anyone got any experience at this yet, i know its new is it to allow traffic to be filtered when not on site? or am i missing something? If so why can you not just use mobileproxy?
tom_newton Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 You could just use a remote proxy, yes. Connect for chromebooks is particularly for integrating the logon, so the chromeook signin determines your filter level
dastrix Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 Not sure it works then, as it seemed to overwrite my filter level.
AliG Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Going to be looking at Smoothwall Connect for Chromebooks next week during half term. Better get Smoothwall support on standby!
dastrix Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 After speaking to support they said it should link Google apps account with ad account. I don't seem to understand how thought so I'll stick to radius
mjk Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 After speaking to support they said it should link Google apps account with ad account. I don't seem to understand how thought so I'll stick to radius Our SW log only saw the @googledomain.com and not our internal @internaldomain.com, hence SW wouldn't recognise any users. We also couldn't work out how to link the accounts and stuck to RADIUS. which works well on Chromebooks.
arron Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Our SW log only saw the @googledomain.com and not our internal @internaldomain.com, hence SW wouldn't recognise any users. Ours is also doing the same, seeing the email address but not linking it to our AD accounts so its not getting any groups.
SwedishChef Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Guys I'm in the same spot, just wondering if anyone has joined the dots on how the logins are then matched to rules.
CyberNerd Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 From what I gather it is only worth doing if you don't have 802.11x on the network - which is a better solution IMO.
