Firewall
User Authentication
Local Database
Rather than use an external server, you can use the module to authenticate
users. The TMS zl Module has just one default user group, the guest user group.
However, you can configure up to 16 user groups and up to 100 users. In
addition to keeping a local list of user groups and their associated users, the
module can enforce timeout limits on a per-user basis.
Users submit their credentials to the module, and the module checks its local
database to see if the credentials match. If they do, the module authenticates
users to the user group configured in its database. Then firewall access
policies are applied according to the user group to which the user authenti-
cated.
Figure 4-51. Authentication Using the Local Database
To view your local database—that is, the module’s list of user groups and their
users, select Network > Authentication and click the Local Users tab.
