Authentication Server Types
The WatchGuard Firebox System can authenticate users
against any of five authentication server types:
•
A built-in authentication server on the Firebox
•
NT primary domain controllers
•
RADIUS-compliant authentication servers
•
CRYPTOCard authentication servers
•
SecurID authentication servers
The differences among the various authentication schemes
are essentially transparent to the user; the user performs
many or all of the same tasks to authenticate against any of
the five types of authentication.
The difference for the Firebox administrator is that for
built-in authentication, the database of usernames, pass-
words, and groups are stored on the Firebox itself. In all
other cases, the usernames, passwords, and groups are
stored on the server performing the authentication.
When the Firebox is not the authentication server, you
must set up the authentication server according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and place it on the network in
a location accessible to the Firebox. It is best placed on the
trusted side for security reasons.
