Configuring Firebox authentication
You can use the WatchGuard Firebox System to define users and groups for
authentication. Enter Firebox User information using Policy Manager.
Firebox Users are intended for remote user virtual private networking (VPN).
WatchGuard automatically adds two Firebox user groups to the basic configuration
file:
• ipsec_users – Add the names of authorized users of remote user VPN with
IPSec (Mobile User).
• pptp_users – Add the names of authorized users of remote user VPN with
PPTP.
For more information, see “Adding remote access users” on page 134.
From Policy Manager:
1 Select Setup => Authentication.
The Member Access and Authentication Setup dialog box appears.
2 Under Authentication Enabled Via, click the Firebox option.
3 Click the Firebox Users tab.
4 To add a new group, click the Add button beneath the Groups list.
The Add Firebox Group dialog box appears.
5 Type the name of the group. Click OK.
6 To add a new user, click the Add button beneath the Users list.
The Setup Firebox User dialog box appears.
7 Enter the username and password.
8 To add the user to a group, select the group name in the Not Member Of list.
Click the left-pointing arrow to move the name to the Member Of list.
9 When you finish adding the user to groups, click Add.
The user is added to the User list. The Setup Remote User dialog box remains open and cleared
for entry of another user.
10 To close the Setup Remote User dialog box, click Close.
The Firebox Users tab appears with a list of the newly configured users.
11 When you finish adding users and groups, click OK.
The users and groups can now be used to configure services and authentication.
Configuring Windows NT Server authentication
Windows NT Server authentication is based on Windows NT Server Users and
Groups. It uses the Users and Groups database already in place on your Windows NT
network. Only end users are allowed to authenticate; the default Windows NT
groups Administrators and Replicators will not authenticate using this feature. From
Policy Manager:
1 Select Setup => Authentication.
The Member Access and Authentication Setup dialog box appears.
