Using Local Firebox Authentication

Using Local Firebox Authentication
When you create a local user for the Firebox® X Edge e-Series, you select the Administrative Access
level for that user. You select access control for the external network and the Branch Office VPN tunnel,
and time limits on this access. You also can enable PPTP mobile user VPN, add a WebBlocker profile to
the user account, and configure the user's IPSec MUVPN restrictions.
Three levels of Administrative Access are available for the Firebox X Edge:
None: Use this to connect to resources on the external network. A user who uses this access level
•
cannot see or change the Edge configuration pages.
Read-Only: Use this to see Edge configuration properties and status. A user who uses this access
•
level cannot change the configuration file.
Full: Use this to see and to change Edge configuration properties. You also can activate options,
•
disconnect active sessions, restart the Edge, and add or edit user accounts. A user who uses this
access level can change the passphrase for all user accounts.
