The following table describes the sub-commands for several force-auth policy commands. Note that 
not all rule commands use all the sub-commands listed here.

The following commands show how to insert a force authentication policy at position 1 of the 
checking order. This policy applies endpoint security policies and uses the following settings:

• Activate:  yes

force-auth policy Sub-commands

[no] activate

Activates the specified condition. The 

no

 command deactivates the 

specified condition.

[no] authentication {force | 

required}

Select the authentication requirement for users when their traffic matches 
this policy. The 

no

 command means user authentication is not required.

force

: Users need to be authenticated and the ZyWALL automatically 

display the login screen when users who have not logged in yet try to send 
HTTP traffic.

[no] eps <1..8> eps_object_name

Associates the specified End Point Security (EPS) object with the specified 
condition. The ZyWALL checks authenticated users’ computers against the

configure order 1 and then the others if any. The no command removes the

and set authentication to either required or force for this condition.

no

 command means to disable 

EPS for the condition.

condition.
