WebAuth Server & Banner Settings

Pre-Policy Check Authentication

Before sending traffic to an intended destination, an auth user initiates an HTTP session to the IP address that is hosting the WebAuth feature on the security device and authenticates himself or herself. After the security device authenticates the user, he or she can send traffic to the destination as permitted by a policy requiring authentication via WebAuth.

Some details about WebAuth:

WebAuth Default Server

WebAuth Server: Select a default WebAuth server. The servers that appear in the drop-down list are servers that you previously configured (see Auth Server Configuration).

WebAuth Banner Settings

You can customize the message that appears to a user authenticating through WebAuth. The Success Banner message appears when the user is successfully authenticated by the WebAuth server. Typically, the message informs the user that the authentication was successful.

Success Banner: Enter the new message in the text field (the maximum number of characters is 220), and then click Apply to save your changes.
