An user object is automatically created when a connection attempt is processed by the firewall. The object is then inserted into the corresponding rule.

In the User/Group list, the Microsoft Windows domain users and groups known to the Barracuda NG Firewall are available for selection. Local user/group information is displayed in the list first. If the Windows workstation is a member of a Microsoft Windows domain, domain user/group information may be retrieved from the Active Directory server by clicking Update.

Irrespective of the operating systems language version installed on the workstation, the following users will always be displayed in English:

•NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

•NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE

•NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE

•NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK

The internal firewall engine will transform these names to the appropriate language version. Do not insert them in an- other language manually.
