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 the section DIRECTORIES CONFIGURATION).

The accounts contain all the information relating to these users:

• Connection ID,
• Last 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 three 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),
  • The TOTP column, hidden by default, which contains a green tick for each user authenticated by a TOTP (Time-based One Time Password ) method.
• 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.
