Cisco PIX Local Http Authentication

Hello group,

We currently have a PIX 501 to PIX 501 vpn between two offices. We

have an AS400 at the main site. At both locations we would like the

users to authenticate to the PIX locally for internet access. I

understand that the PIX allows for telnet, ftp and http authentication

locally but will the users have to authenticate against the PIX for

other traffic being passed by the AS400 or other systems on the two

networks via the VPN. Meaning we only want the user to have to

authenticate to the PIX for internet access only and not have to

authenticate against the PIX for normal traffic between the two sites.

This traffic should be allowed to flow freely without a user name and

password. I have read the documentation on this but am unsure if this

is allowed. ** At both sites internet access routes directly out it

does not tunnel through the VPN. We do not have a radius or tacacs server.

Thanks as always,

Joe

The PIX only authenticates HTTP traffic if you tell it to authenticate it. All other traffic, including FTP and telnet will not be authenticated unless you configure it.
