Setting user authentication protocol support
User authentication can be performed for the following protocols:
• HTTP (can also be set to redirect to HTTPS)
•HTTPS
• FTP
• Telnet
When user authentication is enabled on a firewall policy, the authentication
challenge is normally issued for any of the four protocols (dependent on the
connection protocol). By making selections in the Protocol Support list, the user
controls which protocols support the authentication challenge. The user must
connect with a supported protocol first so they can subsequently connect with
other protocols.
To set authentication protocol support
Go to User > Authentication > Authentication and in Protocol Support, select
the required authentication protocols.
