Note
: The Web browser used to establish an authenticated session must support Java

The user sees the SonicWALL authentication window, asking for their user name and
password. After completing these fields and clicking
Login
, their password is verified
using MD5 authentication. The password is never sent "in the clear" over the Internet,
preventing password theft.
Note
: User names are not case sensitive (“john” is equivalent to “JOHN” or “John”),
but passwords are case sensitive (“password” is not the same as “Password”).
Once authenticated, remote users are able to access all IP resources on the LAN, and
users on the LAN are able to bypass the
Content Filter Lists
. The connection closes
if user inactivity on the connection exceeds the configured time-out period. If the
connection is closed, the remote user needs to re-authenticate.

activity is not logged.
