1 Introduction

"Web Auth" brings you below features:

  • "User & Pass Auth": correct username and password are required to access internet. You can use WFilter local accounts service or third party services(Email, LDAP, Radius) for authentication.
  • "Third Party Auth": interface for third party authentication. The authentication logic is done via a third party service. For example: Dingtalk, wechat for business.
  • "Visitor Auth": authentication for non-regular visitors, including "SMS authentication" and "QR code".

Together with other modules, you can:

  • Display usernames for client devices.(Real-time Bandwidth)
  • Record internet activites by username.(Logs & Reports)
  • Set access policy by username.(Access Policy)
  • Query webauth login history.(Accounts)

2 User & Pass Auth

When enabled, clients in the target ip ranges will be required for username and password when browsing webpages.

    • "Email Auth": send credentials to a pop/imap email server for authentication.
    • "Ldap Auth": send credentials to a ldap server for authentication.
    • "Radius Auth": send credentials to a remote radius server for authentication.
    • "Local + Email": local authenticate first, if not found, try email authentication.
    • "Local + Ldap": local authenticate first, if not found, try ldap authentication.
    • "Local + Radius": local authenticate first, if not found, try radius authentication.
