Configure Authentication to the 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.
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. The module can also enforce timeout limits on a per-user basis.
