7-8 Creating Rules and Groups
The Authentication tab is used to enter authentication information for
this rule.
Note: The following proxies can use authentication: FTP, nt_FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS,
Telnet, and nt_Telnet. The following servers can use authentication: cobra, console, Telnet,
sshd, SSO, and WebProxy.
1. Select one of the following options:
Do not require Authentication—Select this option if you do not
want to require authentication for this rule.
Authentication using SSO (Single Sign On)—Select this option if
you want to allow SSO cached authentication for this rule. (If the
SSO server has not been configured, you will not be able to select
the option. See “Configuring SSO” on page 9-27.)
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 9-5.)
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.
