The users are authenticated by an external RADIUS server at 192.168.1.200.

First, set up the user accounts and user groups in the ZyWALL. Then, set up user authentication using the RADIUS server. Finally, set up the policies in the table above.

The ZyWALL has its default settings.

6.5.1 How to Set Up User Accounts

Set up one user account for each user account in the RADIUS server. If it is possible to export user names from the RADIUS server to a text file, then you might create a script to create the user accounts instead. This example uses the web configurator.

1Click Object > User/Group > User. Click the Add icon.

2Enter the same user name that is used in the RADIUS server, and set the User Type to Ext-Userbecause this user account is authenticated by an external server. Click OK.

Figure 84 Object > User/Group > User > Add

3Repeat this process to set up the remaining user accounts.

6.5.2How to Set Up User Groups

Set up the user groups and assign the users to the user groups.

1Click Object > User/Group > Group. Click the Add icon.
