DESCRIPTION

 

User Type

These are the kinds of user account the ZyWALL supports.

 

 

admin - this user can look at and change the configuration

 

 

of the ZyWALL

 

 

limited-admin- this user can look at the configuration of

 

 

the ZyWALL but not to change it

 

 

user - this user has access to the ZyWALL’s services but

 

 

cannot look at the configuration

 

 

guest - this user has access to the ZyWALL’s services but

 

 

cannot look at the configuration

 

 

ext-user- this user account is maintained in a remote

 

 

server, such as RADIUS or LDAP. See Ext-User Accounts on

 

 

page 584 for more information about this type.

 

 

ext-group-user- this user account is maintained in a

 

 

remote server, such as RADIUS or LDAP. See Ext-Group-

 

 

User Accounts on page 585 for more information about this

 

 

type.

 

 

 

 

Lease Time

This is the default lease time in minutes for each type of user

 

 

account. It defines the number of minutes the user has to

 

 

renew the current session before the user is logged out.

 

 

Admin users renew the session every time the main screen

 

 

refreshes in the Web Configurator. Access users can renew the

 

 

session by clicking the Renew button on their screen. If you

 

 

allow access users to renew time automatically (see Section

 

 

35.4 on page 591), the users can select this check box on their

 

 

screen as well. In this case, the session is automatically

 

 

renewed before the lease time expires.

 

 

 

 

Reauthentication

This is the default reauthentication time in minutes for each

 

Time

type of user account. It defines the number of minutes the

 

 

user can be logged into the ZyWALL in one session before

 

 

having to log in again. Unlike Lease Time, the user has no

 

 

opportunity to renew the session without logging out.

 

 

 

 

Miscellaneous Settings

 

 

 

 

 

Allow renewing lease

Select this check box if access users can renew lease time

 

time automatically

automatically, as well as manually, simply by selecting the

 

 

Updating lease time automatically check box on their

 

 

screen.

 

 

 

 

Enable user idle

This is applicable for access users.

 

detection

Select this check box if you want the ZyWALL to monitor how

 

 

 

 

long each access user is logged in and idle (in other words,

 

 

there is no traffic for this access user). The ZyWALL

 

 

automatically logs out the access user once the User idle

 

 

timeout has been reached.

 

 

 

 

User idle timeout

This is applicable for access users.

 

 

This field is effective when Enable user idle detection is

 

 

checked. Type the number of minutes each access user can be

 

 

logged in and idle before the ZyWALL automatically logs out

 

 

the access user.
