Table 7-13.Extended Authentication Settings

Item Description (or Subfield and Description)

Select one of the following radio buttons to specify whether or not Extended Authentication (XAUTH) is enabled, and–if enabled–which device is used to verify user account information:

•None. XAUTH is disabled. This the default setting.

•Edge Device. The UTM functions as a VPN concentrator on which one or more gateway tunnels terminate. The authentication mode that is available for this configuration is User Database, RADIUS PAP, or RADIUS CHAP.

•IPSec Host. The UTM functions as a VPN client of the remote gateway. In this configuration the UTM is authenticated by a remote gateway with a user name and password combination.

Authentication	For an Edge Device configuration: from the pull-down menu, select one of the
Type	following authentication types:
	• User Database. XAUTH occurs through the UTM’s user database. Users must be
	added through the Add User screen (see “User Database Configuration” on
	page 7-40).
	• Radius PAP. XAUTH occurs through RADIUS Password Authentication Protocol
	(PAP). The local user database is first checked. If the user account is not present
	in the local user database, the UTM connects to a RADIUS server. For more
	information, see “RADIUS Client Configuration” on page 7-40.
	• Radius CHAP. XAUTH occurs through RADIUS Challenge Handshake
	Authentication Protocol (CHAP). For more information, see “RADIUS Client
	Configuration” on page 7-40.
Username	The user name for XAUTH.
Password	The password for XAUTH.

User Database Configuration

When XAUTH is enabled in an Edge Device configuration, users must be authenticated either by a local user database account or by an external RADIUS server. Whether or not you use a RADIUS server, you might want some users to be authenticated locally. These users must be added to the List of Users table on the Users screen, as described in “Configuring User Accounts” on page 9-9.

RADIUS Client Configuration

Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS, RFC 2865) is a protocol for managing authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) of multiple users in a network. A RADIUS server stores a database of user information, and can validate a user at the request of a gateway or
