Web-based authentication
Choose either Tier 2 or Tier 3 if Web-based authentication
will be used.
NOTE
: If selecting either Tier 2 or Tier 3, please be informed that
in an organization with more than 5000 users, slowness may be
experienced during the authentication process. In this scenario,
M86 recommends using a Web Filter with an SSL accelerator
card installed. Please contact M86 for more information.
Tier 2: Use time-based profiles, with time-out (in
minutes)
– Choose this option if using LDAP authentica-
tion, and you want the user to have a time limit on his/her
Internet connection. This option uses an authentication
servlet that lets the user log into either domain with no
persistent connection between the client PC and the Web
Filter.
1. Click “Tier 2”.
2. Enter a whole number for the duration of time the user
will retain his/her Internet connection.
3. Click
Apply
to open the alert box that confirms your
selection.
