Authentication Policy

18.1 Overview

Use authentication policies to control who can access the network. After a user passes authentication the user’s computer must meet the endpoint security object’s Operating System (OS) option and security requirements to gain access.

In the following figure the ZyWALL’s authentication policy requires endpoint security checking on local user A. A passes authentication and the endpoint security check and is given access. Local user B passes authentication but fails the endpoint security check and is denied access.
