Warning

1.

Passwords may contain printable symbols only (letters, numbers, punctuation

marks). Password is case-sensitive. We recommend not to use special characters

(non-English languages) which might cause problems when authenticating via the

Web interface.

2.

NTLM authentication cannot be used for automatic authentication method by NTLM

(refer to chapter

25.2

).. These accounts also cannot be used for authentication to the

Clientless SSL-VPN interface (see chapter

24

).

NT domain / Kerberos 5

Users are authenticated through the Windows NT domain (Windows NT 4.0) or through

the Active Directory (Windows 2000/2003/2008).

Go to the Users section of the Active Directory / NT domain tab to set parameters for user

authentication through the Windows NT domain or/and through the Active Directory. If

Active Directory authentication is set also for Windows NT domain, then Active Directory

will be preferred.

Note: User accounts with this type of authentication set will not be active unless au-

thentication through Active Directory or/and NT domain is enabled. For details, see

chapter

15.3

.

Step 2 — groups

Figure 15.4

Creating a new user account — groups

Groups into which the user will be included can be added or removed with the Add or the

Remove button within this dialog (to create new groups go to User and Groups Groups
see chapter

). Follow the same guidelines to add users to groups during group definition.

It is not important whether groups or users are defined first.

Hint

While adding new groups you can mark more than one group by holding either the Ctrl or

theShift key.
