Configuring NETAPI and WMI methods

As a query source, the SSO Agent can use either the NETAPI or WMI protocol to communicate with workstations.
You can select the desired protocol as the Query Source option in the Directory Connector Configuration Tool.
NETAPI and WMI provide information about users that are logged into a workstation, including domain users,
local users, and Windows services.
NETAPI provides faster, though possibly slightly less accurate, performance. WMI provides slower, though
possibly more accurate performance. With NETAPI, Windows reports the last login to the workstation whether or
not the user is still logged in. This means that after a user logs out from his computer, the appliance still shows
the user as logged in when NETAPI is used. If another user logs on to the same computer, then at that point the
previous user is logged out from the Dell SonicWALL appliance.
To configure the NETAPI or WMI method in Directory Services Connector:
1
In the Directory Connector Configuration Tool, right-click SonicWALL SSO Agent in the left panel.
