13.2 Local user accounts

the domain (see chapter 13.1) or they can be set especially for the corresponding
account.
Using a template is suitable for common accounts in the domain (common user
accounts). Definition of accounts is simpler and faster, if a template is used.
Individual configuration is recommended especially for accounts with special rights
(e.g. WinRoute administration accounts). Usually, there are not many such accounts
which means their configuration comfortable.
Authentication options:
Internal user database
User account information is stored locally to WinRoute. In such a case, specify the
Password and Confirm password items (later, the password can be edited in the
Web interface — see chapter 9).
Warning:
1. Passwords may contain printable symbols only (letters, numbers, punctuation
marks). Password is case-sensitive. We recommend not to use special charac-
ters (non-English languages) which might cause problems when authenticating
via the Web interface.
2. NTLM authentication cannot be used for automatic authentication method by
NTLM (refer to chapter 23.3).. These accounts also cannot be used for authen-
tication to the Clientless SSL-VPN interface (see chapter 22).
NT domain / Kerberos 5
Users are authenticated through the Windows NT domain (Windows NT 4.0) or
through the Active Directory (Windows 2000/2003).
Go to the Users section of the Active Directory / NT domain tab to set parameters
for user authentication through the NT domain or through the Active Directory. If
Active Directory authentication is set also for NT domain, it will be preferred.
Note: User accounts with this type of authentication set will not be active unless
authentication through Active Directory or/and NT domain is enabled. For details,
see chapter
13.3.
Step 2 — groups
Groups into which the user will be included can be added or removed with the Add or
the Remove button within this dialog (to create new groups go to User and Groups →
Groups — see chapter 13.5). Follow the same guidelines to add users to groups during
group definition. It is not important whether groups or users are defined first.
HINT: While adding new groups you can mark more than one group by holding either
the Ctrl or theShift key.
