Description
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational users must be identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Organizational users include organizational employees or individuals the organization deems to have equivalent status of employees (e.g., contractors). Organizational users (and any processes acting on behalf of users) must be uniquely identified and authenticated for all accesses except the following. By default, the ProxySG operates as an un-authenticated proxy. Authentication of users must be explicitly configured as described here and in in the ProxySG Administration Guide, Chapter 49: Controlling Access to the Internet and Intranet.
