Configuring authentication policies

SSL VPN supports local authentication, RADIUS authentication, LDAP authentication, AD authentication,

and combined authentication of any two of the previous four authentication methods.
Local authentication, LDAP authentication, and AD authentication each supports three authentication
policies:

Password—Authenticates only a user’s password.

Password+Certificate—Authenticates a user’s password and client certificate.

Certificate—Authenticates only a user’s client certificate.

RADIUS authentication supports only two authentication policies: password and password+certificate.

Configuring local authentication

Local authentication authenticates users by using the user information saved on the SSL VPN gateway.

This authentication method is the fastest because user information is locally saved, and the SSL VPN

gateway does not need to exchange information with an external authentication server. However, the
number of local users is limited by the capacity of the SSL VPN gateway.
Select VPN > SSL VPN > Domain Management > Authentication Policy from the navigation tree. The

Local Authentication tab appears, as shown in

Configuring RADIUS authentication

The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol is a distributed, client/server mode
information exchange protocol for protecting networks against unauthorized access. It is usually

deployed in networks that require secure remote access. The SSL VPN system can cooperate with the

existing RADIUS server of an enterprise seamlessly to provide RADIUS authentication. Users in the

enterprise can use their original accounts for RADIUS authentication through SSL VPN.
