Standard password authentication requires a user to enter the same password<br />

each time he or she logs on. This method typically is used for authenticating a<br />

user’s internal-to-external SOCKS5, Telnet, FTP, and Web connections, and<br />

local <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> administrator log ins. Since the internal users are<br />

generally thought to be trusted, a weak authentication method is probably all<br />

that is required. You may want to authenticate internal-to-external connections<br />

not so much for security reasons but to track usage <strong>of</strong> the system.<br />
