Administration > User Authentication > Local Users
In this part of the software enter local users and define their access to various proxies.
External user databases can also be accessed (e.g., RADIUS servers, Windows NT servers, or Windows 2000 servers).
User Authentication is useful if a user database already exists on such a server, in which case the user need not be created
on the RouteFinder again.
At the IP level, you can limit the access to the proxy services of your RouteFinder by setting Packet Filter rules on your
internal clients. This poses certain problems, however, if you are using a dynamic configuration protocol internally, such as
DHCP or BOOTP. In this case, user authentication becomes irrelevant. When requests are made to a proxy service, the
client must authenticate himself with his user name and password. This makes the authentication person-based (i.e., user-
based) and not IP-based, thus making a person-based Accounting in the HTTP proxy access protocol possible.
Prerequisite
Before you can use Local Authentication, you must activate User Authentication for the respective proxy services. In
Proxy (e.g., Proxy > HTTP or Proxy > SOCKS) check the Local in the Authentication Types menu; then click Add.
