Identifying remote users

Remote Filtering Software | Web Security Solutions | Versions 7.7, 7.8

The policy applied to requests from a remote machine depends on how the user logs on to the machine.

If a user logs on using cached domain credentials (network directory logon information), Filtering Service is able to resolve the user name and apply the appropriate user or group-based policy. Internet activity is logged under the network user name.

If the user logs on with a local account, Filtering Service cannot resolve the user name.

If manual authentication is enabled, the user receives an in-browser logon prompt, and Internet requests are filtered by the user or group policy and Internet activity is logged under the network user name.

If manual authentication is not enabled, the Default policy is applied to Internet requests and Internet activity is logged under the local user name.


	Note Selective authentication settings do not apply to remote filtering users.
