Use this page to control the common behavior, irrespective of the authentication method used.
Procedure
- On the SERVICES menu, under the Authentication submenu, click Settings.
- Under the IDex settings section, enter the list of IP address of all IDex Cluster nodes, with each node's IP address on a new line.
- A list of IP addresses of the Smoothwall Filter and Firewall hardware appliances that share authentication information. The IDex Cluster shares the information received from IDex among all nodes in a Central Management cluster (see our help topic, Setting up a centrally managed system), so that web filtering requests can be load-balanced among them. If your Smoothwall makes use of the ID Indexing System and Central Management features, you must enter the IP addresses of all nodes, including this node's IP address.
- To remove obsolete information when you've changed the IDex configuration, click Clear directory.
- Clears user and group authentication information from the IDex Directory. All information is removed up to the point in time the clear request was made. The Clear operation will log off any users currently logged into the system. Therefore, we recommend that you perform this operation when there's minimal user activity.
- To create Smoothwall Firewall rules for groups that contain IDex identified users requiring access, select the Enabled option for the Users identified by IDex Client or IDex Agent are subject to firewall rules that make use of groups.
- Determines whether you can create Smoothwall Firewall rules for groups that contain IDex-identified users requiring access to other segments of your internal network. Unless IDex-identified users do need to access other segments of your internal network specifically through the Smoothwall, we recommend that you leave this option off.
- Click Save changes.
