11.7 External Authentications


This feature is available with the VPN / Firewall license.
The admin can configure external authentication (XAUTH). Rather than configure a
unique VPN policy for each user, the admin can configure the VPN gat eway router to
authenticate users from a stored list of user accounts or with an external authentication
server such as a RADIUS server. With a user database, user accounts created in the
router are used to authenticate users.
With a configured RADIUS server, the router connects to a RADIUS server and passes
to it the credentials that it receives from the VPN client. You can secure the connection
between the router and the RADIUS server with the authentication protocol supported
by the server (PAP or CHAP). For RADIUS – PAP, the router first checks in the user
database to see if the user credentials are available; if they are not, the router connects
to the RADIUS server.
