9.9.4 Firewall User

With this option, you can add user groups and set users for each group. These
user groups and users will be used to create rules that can permit remote access
to users to access their LANs without compromising on security. You can
configure individual groups with a set of access rules that will:

*

Define the resources for which they are allowed access

*

Be activated upon user login

When a user belonging to a group logs in via the Internet or from a local network,
the SL6000/SL6300 creates dynamic policies by:

*

Activating all the rules configured for the group

*

Replacing the source IP address in the rule with IP address of the ma-
chine from which the user logged in.

SL6000/SL6300 stores them in a dynamic rule list and uses them for every
connection from the user. It deletes this list after the user logs out of the GoC
System’s firewall.
