Using Local Firebox Authentication
160
Firebox X Edge e-Series
The user must enter his or her user name and password to authenticate.
If you are using local authentication, you must type your name as it appears in the Firebox User list. If
you use Active Directory or another LDAP server for authentication through the Firebox X Edge, you
must include the domain name. For example, if a user authenticates using the local Firebox user list, he
or she types
jsmith
. If the admin user authenticates with an LDAP authentication server through the
Edge, the administrator must type
MyCompany\jsmith
.
When you authenticate with the Firebox X Edge and make an Internet connection, your user name
appears in the
Active Sessions
section of the Firebox Users page.
The Login Status page can be seen at any time when the user returns to the URL for the Edge. On this
page, the user can:
•
See how long their session has been active.
•
See how long they can be idle before the session times out.
•
Change their password.
Using a read-only administrative account
You can create a local user account with access to see Firebox X Edge e-Series configuration pages.
When you log in as a read-only administrator, you cannot:
•
Click the
Reboot
button on the System Status page.
•
Change the configuration mode on the External page.
•
Click the
Reset Event Log
and
Sync Time with Browser Now
buttons on the Logging page.
•
Click the
Synchronize Now
button on the System Time page.
•
Click the
Regenerate IPSec Keys
button on the VPN page.
•
Change the configuration mode on the Managed VPN page.
•
Launch configuration wizards from the Wizard page.
If you try to do these things, you get a message that tells you that you have read-only access and can-
not change the configuration file.
To create a read-only user account, edit the user account. Use the
Administrative Access
drop-down
list to select
Read Only
.
Using the administrator account
The Firebox X Edge e-Series has a built-in administrator account that cannot be deleted. You can
change some of the administrator account settings. On the Firebox Users page, click the icon in the
Edit
column of the administrator account.
