USERS

The user authentication service requires the creation of user accounts at the firewall level. To access the features of this module, you must first create or configure your LDAP base (see document Directory configuration or module Users\Directory configuration).

The accounts contain all the information relating to these users:

• ID
• Name
• First name
• E-mail address (optional),
• Phone number (optional)
• Description (optional)

The Users screen consists of three parts:

• In the upper part, a toolbar showing the various possible operations;
• In the column on the left, the list of users, which consists of one to two columns:
  
  • The CN column, displayed by default, which includes user names in identifier@directory format,
  • The DN column, hidden by default, which displays the Distinguished Name of the user (CN, OU, O and DC fields describe the user in its reference directory),
• In the column on the right, details on the properties of the selected user in three separate tabs:
  • The Account tab, which shows the account information listed above;
  • The Certificate tab, which provides details on the user's certificate if the user has an identity in the firewall's PKI;
  • The Member of these groups tab, which lists the groups that the selected user belongs to in the directory.

Refer to the section Allowed names to find out which characters are allowed and prohibited in various fields.

The tables below indicate the maximum number of users that can be authenticated simultaneously according to the model of your firewall:
