Some of the key functions that we require, over and above being a good firewall of course are below, and I am hoping you can share your opinions on what are the best and worst devices to get the job done? Features: * SSL VPN (needless to say really) * The ability to log in to an https page on the firewall: we have set the watchguard up so that it will not open ports until a user first logs in to the firewall via an https page * The ability to authenticate against active directory in the above scenario: we have a separate forest set up strictly for this purpose (allows the same firewall login across all of our sites this way) * The ability to report web traffic usage on a user by user basis, as opposed to machine IP Address * Some sort of web content filtering, both by type of file, and classic content types, such as gambling etc Many thanks in advance for any and all feedback Clayton Doige IT Project Manager CME Development Corporation T: 020 7430 5355 M: 07949 255062 E:clayton.do...@cme-net.com W:www.cetv-net.com ______________________________________________________________________ This electronic mail message and any attached files contain information intended for the exclusive use of the person(s) to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is proprietary, privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
