Your customer has created a rule so that every time a user wants to go to the Internet, that user
must be authenticated. Firewall load is a concern for the customer. Which authentication method
does not result in any additional connections to the firewall?
A.
Session
B.
User
C.
Client
D.
Connection
E.
None of the above.
Explanation:
Session authentication does not result in any additional connection to the firewall, you can use one
connection and use it for the rest of the session for any service, also remember that session
authentication is controlled by the Session authentication agent. See the online product
documentation for more info.
Incorrect Answers:
B: User authentication needs additional connection because it manages a proxy for each service.
C: Client authentication also requires additional connection because you have to connect to the
firewall with HTTP or Telnet and enable the service for your use through the gateway.
D: This is not a valid authentication method.
E: This answer is wrong because answer A is correct, session authentication doesn’t need
additional connections to the firewall.
