Creating Additional Realms

You can create realms in addition to the Default realm. For example, you want the Default realm to be used for authentication to an LDAP server. If you want to use additional authentication methods for users, such as RADIUS, SafeWord, RSA SecurID, NTLM, or locally on the appliance, you can create realms for each of these. When the user logs on to realms that are not the Default realm, they need to type the realm name and their user name, such as realm name\user name.

Note

Note: Watchguard recommends that realm names map to their corresponding domain names. This

enables users to log on using either realm name\user name or user name@realm name.

To create a realm

1On the Authentication tab, under Add an Authentication Realm, in Realm name, type the name of the realm.

2Do one of the following:

If users have one authentication type, click One Source. -or-

If users have two authentication types, click Two Source.

3Click Add.

4In Authentication type, select the authentication method, and click OK.

If you are configuring double-source authentication, in Primary authentication type, select the type that users will log on to first. In Secondary authentication type, select the type that users will log on to second. For more information, see “Configuring Double-Source Authentication” on page 85.

5Configure the settings for the realm and then click Submit.
