Title: OS Password Usage

**Disadvantage:  Your firewall must be a member of your NT domain.

 

In my estimation, this problem alone is enough to convince me not to ever use it.  However, if the security policy at your company deems that an acceptable risk, it is a nice way to reduce the number of passwords a user has to type.  HOWEVER, this is what RADIUS was developed for - you can use RADIUS and still keep the firewall "hardened."

 

Hope that helps...
