Configuring local users
NOTE:
The firewall supports configuring local users only in the web interface.
Local user overview
Local users are a set of user accounts configured on the firewall. A local user is uniquely identified by
username. To enable users using a certain network service to pass local authentication, you must add
corresponding entries to the local user database on the firewall.
The attributes of a local user include the username, user password, user privilege level, and the service
type that the user can use.
