CHAPTER 10Implementing AuthenticationUser authentication allows user names to be associated with connections through the Firebox. Whenyou use user authentication, a Firebox administrator can see user names and IP addresses when theymonitor connections through the Firebox. Without authentication, you see only the IP address of eachconnection. With authentication, a user can log in to the network from any computer, but see only theinformation for which they are authorized. All the connections that the user starts from that IP addressalso transmit the session name while the user is authenticated.The Firebox allows you to create policies that include groups and user names. As a result, the policy isapplied to any computer a person uses to log in. Monitor by user name:• If you use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP can cause the IP address of acomputer to change.• If many different users can use the same IP address in a day, such as in a university or computerlab environment.In these cases, authentication gives you more information about the employee actions.How User Authentication WorksAn HTTPS server operates on the Firebox® to accept authentication requests. To authenticate, a usermust connect to the authentication web page on the Firebox. The address is:https://IP address of a Firebox interface:4100/orhttps://Host name of the Firebox:4100An authentication web form appears. The user must type their user name and password. The Fireboxsends the name and password to the authentication server using PAP (Password Authentication Protocol).When the user is authenticated, the user is then allowed to use the approved network resources.The user is authenticated for some time after they close their last authenticated connection. Thisauthentication time-out is set by the Firebox administrator in Policy Manager > Setup > Global Settings.To close an authenticated session before the authentication time-out occurs, a user can click Logout onthe Authentication web page. If the page is closed, the user must open it again to disconnect. To pre-User Guide 121
