8.2.6. Authentication Processing Chapter 8. User Authentication The maximum time that a connection can exist (no value is specified by default). If an authentication server is being used then the option to Use timeouts received from the authentication server can be enabled to have these values set from the server. Multiple Logins An Authentication Rule can specify how multiple logins are handled where more than one user from different source IP addresses try to login with the same username. The possible options are: • Allow multiple logins so that more than one client can use the same username/password combination. • Allow only one login per username. • Allow one login per username and logout an existing user with the same name if they have been idle for a specific length of time when the new login occurs. 8.2.6. Authentication Processing The list below describes the processing flow through NetDefendOS for username/password authentication: 1. A user creates a new connection to the NetDefend Firewall. 2. NetDefendOS sees the new user connection on an interface and checks the Authentication rule set to see if there is a matching rule for traffic on this interface, coming from this network and data which is one of the following types: • HTTP traffic • HTTPS traffic • IPsec tunnel traffic • L2TP tunnel traffic • PPTP tunnel traffic 3. If no rule matches, the connection is allowed, provided the IP rule set permits it, and nothing further happens in the authentication process. 4. Based on the settings of the first matching authentication rule, NetDefendOS prompts the user with an authentication request. 5. The user replies by entering their identification information which is usually a username/password pair. 6. NetDefendOS validates the information against the Authentication Source specified in the authentication rule. This will be either a local NetDefendOS database, an external RADIUS database server or an external LDAP server. 7. NetDefendOS then allows further traffic through this connection as long as authentication was successful and the service requested is allowed by a rule in the IP rule set. That rule's Source Network object has either the No Defined Credentials option enabled or alternatively it is associated with a group and the user is also a member of that group. 8. If a timeout restriction is specified in the authentication rule then the authenticated user will be automatically logged out after that length of time without activity. 368

Match case Limit results 1 per page

The maximum time that a connection can exist (no value is specified by default).

If an authentication server is being used then the option to

Use timeouts received from the

authentication server

can be enabled to have these values set from the server.

Multiple Logins

An Authentication Rule can specify how

multiple logins

are handled where more than one user from

different source IP addresses try to login with the same username. The possible options are:

•

Allow multiple logins so that more than one client can use the same username/password

combination.

•

Allow only one login per username.

•

Allow one login per username and logout an existing user with the same name if they have been

idle for a specific length of time when the new login occurs.

8.2.6. Authentication Processing

The list below describes the processing flow through NetDefendOS for username/password

authentication:

A user creates a new connection to the NetDefend Firewall.

NetDefendOS sees the new user connection on an interface and checks the

Authentication rule

set

to see if there is a matching rule for traffic on this interface, coming from this network and

data which is one of the following types:

•

HTTP traffic

•

HTTPS traffic

•

IPsec tunnel traffic

•

L2TP tunnel traffic

•

PPTP tunnel traffic

If no rule matches, the connection is allowed, provided the IP rule set permits it, and nothing

further happens in the authentication process.

Based on the settings of the first matching authentication rule, NetDefendOS prompts the user

with an authentication request.

The

user

replies

entering

their

identification

information

which

usually

username/password pair.

NetDefendOS validates the information against the

Authentication Source

specified in the

authentication rule. This will be either a local NetDefendOS database, an external RADIUS

database server or an external LDAP server.

NetDefendOS then allows further traffic through this connection as long as authentication was

successful and the service requested is allowed by a rule in the IP rule set. That rule's Source

Network object has either the

No Defined Credentials

option enabled or alternatively it is

associated with a group and the user is also a member of that group.

If a timeout restriction is specified in the authentication rule then the authenticated user will be

automatically logged out after that length of time without activity.
