Quota Authentication
For a quota to take effect, a user must be authenticated to the Firebox, and match a configured policy. Quotas cannot be enforced if a user is able to access websites without authentication.
For groups, time and bandwidth limit totals are applied to each user in a group, and not as a total limit for the entire group.
Quota enforcement applies to local Firebox and external users and groups for all firewall, SSLVPN, IPSec, and L2TP sessions.
You can use the Hotspot-Users group to apply quotas for hotspot guest users.
To manage your authentication servers and the users and groups used in your policies:
- Click Firebox Users/Groups to manage your authentication servers, including local Firebox authentication, and external authentication servers.
- Click Authorized Users/Groups to manage the users and groups used in policies and aliases. The users or groups you add must match a user or group already configured on your authentication servers.
