Configuring Extended Authentication (XAUTH)
When many VPN clients connect to a UTM, you might want to use a unique user authentication
method beyond relying on a single common pre-shared key for all clients. Although you could
configure a unique VPN policy for each user, it is more efficient to authenticate users from a stored
list of user accounts. XAUTH provides the mechanism for requesting individual authentication
information from the user, and a local user database or an external authentication server, such as a
RADIUS server, provides a method for storing the authentication information centrally in the local
network.
