Authentication Settings:

The Authentication Settings window displays when Authentication Settings is selected from the Authentication menu in the navigation panel. This window is used for entering or modifying general settings for the Web Filter that will enable this server to authenticate and re-authenticate users on the network.

Settings frame
When authentication in enabled—via the Enable/Disable Authentication window—the fields in this frame are activated.

The Web Filter NetBIOS Name displays. This is the Host Name entered in the LAN Settings window.

1. If using a WINS server for name resolution, in the IP Address of WINS Server field, enter the IP address of each Windows DNS server to be filtered by this Web Filter, with a space between each IP address.

2. In the Virtual IP Address to Use for Authentication field, 1.2.3.5 displays by default. Enter the IP address that from now on will be used for communicating authentication information between the Web Filter and the PDC. This must be an IP address that is not being used, and is on the same segment of the network as the Web Filter.

WARNING: If the IP address entered here is not in the same subnet as this Web Filter, the net use connection will fail.

3. In the NIC Device to Use for Authentication pull-down menu, LAN2 would usually be selected for the invisible mode’s selection for sending traffic on the network—in particular, for transferring authentication data. If using the router or firewall mode, select LAN1 for the type of interface the Web Filter will use as its sending device.

4. Click Apply to apply your settings.
