Can you configure your Firebox to automatically redirect users to the Authentication Portal page?

You can configure your Firebox to automatically redirect users to the Authentication Portal page, which allows for seamless access control and user authentication. This feature is particularly useful in environments where users need to be authenticated before they can access the internet or network resources. By enabling automatic redirection, the Firebox intercepts the initial requests from users and directs them to the Authentication Portal without requiring any manual action from the users themselves. This streamlines the user experience and ensures that authentication is handled systematically.

Automatic redirection to the Authentication Portal is critical in scenarios such as guest access in a corporate or educational environment, where users may not have credentials but need temporary access. It’s an effective way to manage user access while maintaining security, ensuring that only authenticated users can proceed. This functionality aligns with best practices in network management and security, enhancing both usability and protection for the network.
