Figure 111: Proxy Rule:
Time tab
• Authenticate using selected Authentication Methods—Select this
option to require authentication for this rule. If you select this option, you
will need to specify the types of authentication that will be allowed for
this rule by selecting the appropriate check boxes in the Authentication
Methods area.
Only methods that have been configured and enabled will be available for
selection. For information on authentication methods, see “Supported
authentication methods” on page 277.
2 [Optional] If more than one authentication method is selected, you may
specify a default method from the Default Method drop-down list. This is the
authentication method that will be used by the Sidewinder G2 if the user
does not specify an authentication method during log in
Important: The Default field is not used for administrative purposes (such as
logging in to the Admin Console). The default administration authentication
method is defined in the Firewall Administration> Firewall Accounts window.
3 [Conditional] In the Authorization area, select one of the following options:
• Allow all successfully authenticated users—Select this option if you
want to allow all users who successfully authenticate.
• Allow only users in the selected Sidewinder User Group—Select this
option if you want to require users who belong to a particular group to be
allowed to use the service(s) specified within the rule. By default All
Users are authenticated.
• [Conditional] Allow only users in the selected External Authorization
Role—This option is active only if SafeWord or LDAP is selected and
enabled. Selecting this option is similar to assigning a user group to a
proxy rule, except the group (or role in this case) is defined within an
external authentication program such as SafeWord PremierAccess or
LDAP/Active Directory. This relieves you from having to maintain a
second instance of the group (role) on the Sidewinder G2.
Note: For additional information on configuring authentication for services,
see “Setting up authentication for services” on page 303.
