1 Overview

The purpose of this document is to demonstrate how to configure VACMAN Middleware

(VM) to work with the WatchGuard Firebox. The Firebox will be deployed as the

companies firewall in the DMZ zone, connecting and protecting different internal

networks.

2 Problem Description

The basic working of the Firebox is based on authentication to an existing media

(LDAP, Radius, local authentication …). To use the VACMAN Middleware with the

Firebox, its RADIUS settings need to be changed or added manually.

3 Solution

After configuring VACMAN Middleware and the Firebox in the right way, you eliminate

the weakest link in any security infrastructure – the use of static passwords – that are

easily stolen guessed, reused or shared. The Firebox also enables you to work with

group options in their firewall.

In this Integration Guide we will secure a corporate website. So everyone, coming

from the External network (Internet), will have to authenticate before access will be

granted to the website. We will use a WatchGuard Firebox Peak X8000.
