Warning
The user name is not case-sensitive. We recommend not to use special characters (non-
English languages) which might cause problems when authenticating at the Web interface
or the SSL-VPN interface.
Full Name
A full name of the user (usually first name and surname).
Description
User description (e.g. a position in a company).
The Full Name and the Description items have informative values only. Any type of infor-
mation can be included or the field can be left empty.
Email Address
Email address of the user that alerts (see chapter
) and other information (e.g.alert
if a limit for data transmission is exceeded, etc.) will be sent to. A valid email address
should be set for each user, otherwise some of the WinRoute features may not be used
efficiently.
Note: A relay server must be set in WinRoute for each user, otherwise sending of alert
messages to users will not function. For details, refer to chapter
Authentication

Account is disabled

not be used immediately (e.g. an account for a new employee who has not taken up yet).
Domain template
Define parameters for the corresponding user account (access rights, data transfer quotas
and content rules). These parameters can be defined by the template of the domain (see
chapter
) or they can be set especially for the corresponding account.
Using a template is suitable for common accounts in the domain (common user accounts).
Definition of accounts is simpler and faster, if a template is used.
Individual configuration is recommended especially for accounts with special rights (e.g.
WinRoute administration accounts). Usually, there are not many such accounts which
means their configuration comfortable.
Authentication options:
Internal user database
User account information is stored locally to WinRoute. In such a case, specify the Pass-
word and Confirm password items (later, the password can be edited in the Web interface
