How Local User Authentication Works: RADIUS, Privilege Groups and X.509 Certificates
Overview
Authentication on the X family device is an optional method of verifying the identity of a Local User and associating the user with privilege rights. Local users log into the device to access network services if the device has been configured to control access by user login (that is, the device has Local User accounts available for use).
On the X family device, authentication is used for the following purposes:
•Enable VPN client access for remote users, over a secure VPN tunnel (PPTP or L2TP)
•Provide firewall authentication, ensuring secure access to network resources between security zones
•Permit certain users to bypass web filtering
User authentication can also be implemented in conjunction with firewall rules, to restrict access to network services and applications.
The following explanation describes the authentication process, as implemented by the X family device.
