Network Users
All authentication systems require that you define and store the information necessary to authenticate
a user. This normally includes a user name to identify the user and a password, key, or hash to validate
the user’s identity. When using the security gateway’s internal authentication server, alone or in an
authentication scheme, you must first define authentication information.
User Account Properties—General tab
User accounts specify the types of authentication that apply to users when they attempt to connect to
the security gateway.
