The User Database
This page in the web interface allows the administrator to enter the details of new users into the
NetDefendOS user database and to also administer these users by making deletions or changes.
There is no limit on the database size.
The NetDefendOS user authentication database is used only with VPN. When external clients
connect through a VPN link to resources protected by the DFL-160, they can be required to provide
a unique combination of a userid and a password (access without any authentication is also
possible).
For a description of how to set up VPN connections with the DFL-160, see Section 4.4, “VPN
Options”.
VPN Types That Use VPN Authentication
The exact types of VPN actions that rely on this user database are:
• Access by an external client through an IPsec tunnel through the WAN interface (see
Section 4.4.1, “IPsec”).
• Access by an external client through an L2TP tunnel through the WAN interface, where the
DFL-160 is acting as an L2TP server (see Section 4.4.3, “L2TP/PPTP Server”).
Note: User databases
The users in the user database have no connection with the usernames and associated
passwords used for the system administration and system audit functions. Those are
described in Section 3.1, “Administration”.
