Users
From Definitions|Users you can add local users and user definitions. These user definitions can be
used to restrict access to proxy services. This is the alternative to accessing an external user database
(described earlier in this chapter). (Users defined here are "local" to the RouteFinder, meaning it can
authenticate these users without asking an external server.)
At Definitions|Users you define which proxy services a user may access. Possible options are, for
example, SOCKS proxy and HTTP proxy.
To allow a local user to log on to the network from remote sites via PPTP, select the appropriate
checkbox. If the user should get a specific IP address, enter it in the field to the right. Otherwise the user
will be assigned an address from the PPTP pool defined in the PPTP settings.
For each user, you can also define if s/he should be able to use proxy services.
This setting is equivalent to adding the user to the
allowed
user list in the proxy configuration pages.
Available proxies are HTTP and SOCKS.

entry field.
5.
Define which proxy services the user will be able to access by clicking the option fields.
