Authentication
IM Management
How to use?
„ The Authentication function is only available in Bridge mode. If MIS engineer use
Sniffer mode to deploy IM-1000, then appliance cannot block the IM connection
and MIS engineer also cannot manage the internal user to use IM software. In other
words, IM-1000 can only record the user’s IM conversation contents while using
Sniffer mode.
„ If user’s IM account passed the authentication, then there is no more action of IM
authentication.
„ The Authentication function must apply to Rule function. For exapmle, if MIS
engineer wants to make rule setting of MSN.
‹ MIS engineer select Rule Æ MSN Æ Accept; Always. It means user can use
MSN without passing authentication.
‹ MSN MIS engineer select Rule Æ MSN Æ Authentication passed. That
means the user’s MSN account need to passed authentication or it will be
dropped.
User can not login MSN
„ MIS engineer can set one authentication accout instead of group of IM accounts to
process the IM authentication.
