The primary intention of the transparent proxy feature is to provide a temporary
solution until all browsers have been reconfigured.
For
browsers
without
proxy
configuration
some
particularities have to be considered. In the network
configuration of the respective workstation SX-GATE has
to be configured as default gateway. Otherwise transparent
access will not work. Usually DNS is required, too. The
transparent FTP proxy has to be enabled later on in
this wizard if FTP access is required. Particularly internet
access with HTTPS and HTTP connections to non-
standard ports will not be possible by default. If you plan to
use transparent mode permanently, the firewall policy must
be modified for this.

Windows settings
ActiveDirectory server IP
Please enter the IP address of the ActiveDirectory server. If you want to use the NT4
compatibility mode, enter the NetBIOS name of your local Windows domain instead.
The NetBIOS domain name is for instance displayed below
"Network Places" where it might be labeled "Workgroup".
A NetBIOS domain name usually contains no dots (e.g.
"EXAMPLE"). In contrast an active directory domain name is
actually an Internet domain name. As such it contains at least
one dot (e.g. "example.com").
Authorized users
Select which users are authorized to use the proxy.
