CHAPTER 18
Authentication Policy
18.1 Overview
Use authentication policies to control who can access the network. After a user passes
authentication the user’s computer must meet the endpoint security object’s Operating System
(OS) option and security requirements to gain access.
In the following figure the ZyWALL’s authentication policy requires endpoint security checking on
local user A. A passes authentication and the endpoint security check and is given access. Local
user B passes authentication but fails the endpoint security check and is denied access.

VPN traffic matches an authentication policy’s source and destination IP addresses, the user must
pass authentication.
