Applying a schedule to a policy

Once you have created schedules you can add them to policies to schedule when the policies are active.
•
Go to Firewall > Policy .
•
Click the tab corresponding to the type of policy to add.
•
Click New to add a policy.
•
Configure the policy as required.
•
Add a schedule by selecting it from the Schedule list.
•
Click OK to save the policy
•
Arrange the policy in the policy list to have the effect that you expect.
For example, to use a one-time schedule to deny access to another policy, add a policy that matches the
other policy in every way. Choose the one-time schedule that you added and set Action to Deny. Then
you must arrange the policy containing the one-time schedule in the policy list above the policy to be
denied.
Arranging a one-time schedule in the policy list to deny access.

Users and authentication

You can configure the DFL-500 to require users to authenticate (enter a user name and password) to access
services through the firewall. To configure authentication you need to add user names and passwords to the
firewall and then add policies that require authentication. When a connection attempt is matched by a policy
requiring authentication, the user requesting the connection must enter a valid user name and password to be
allowed to connect through the firewall.
