RADIUS and NT Domain Authentication
For authentication to RADIUS or Microsoft NT domains (using Kerberos), you can individually
define authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) users and groups. This is not required,
but it allows you to create separate policies or bookmarks for individual AAA users.
When a user logs in, the SSL VPN Concentrator will validate with the appropriate RADIUS or NT
server that the user is authorized to log in. If the user is authorized, the SSL VPN Concentrator will
check to see if a user exists in the SSL VPN Concentrator Users and Groups database. If the user is
defined, then the policies and bookmarks defined for the user will apply.
