ZyWALL USG 1000 User’s Guide

Use authentication policies to control who can access the network. You can 
authenticate users (require them to log in) and even perform Endpoint Security 
(EPS) checking to make sure users’ computers comply with defined corporate 
policies before they can access the network. After a users passes authentication 
the user’s computer must meet the endpoint security object’s Operating System 
(OS) option and security requirements to gain access. See 

 for how to configure endpoint security objects to use with authentication 

policies. 

In the following figure the ZyWALL’s authentication policy requires endpoint 
security checking on local user A. A passes authentication and the endpoint 
security check and is given access. Local user B passes authentication but fails the 
endpoint security check and is denied access.
