Configuring for Pass-Through Authentication

Pass-through firewall user authentication occurs when the client is trying to access a destination on another zone using FTP, Telnet, or HTTP. After authenticating successfully, the firewall acts as a proxy for an FTP, Telnet, or HTTP server so that it can first authenticate the user before allowing access to the actual FTP, Telnet, or HTTP server behind the firewall. See Figure 24.
