USER AUTHENTICATION
There are two ways in which authentication is used:
• For authenticating PEM users - Give users password protected access to the appliance, in order to
manage their PEM account. This will not give them access to the RiskFilter Administrator.
• For authenticating remote users - Authenticate users who send mail from the protected domain, from
an IP address not listed in the Relay Control screen. These could include, for example, dial-up users.
This will enable successful delivery of legitimate mail, while still denying e-mails from fraudulent
addresses.
Authenticating PEM users
RiskFilter will authenticate users’ accounts and passwords via user directories, before they log on to the
PEM login page to check spam messages. Authentication is carried out in the User E-mail Account
Authentication screen.

messages.
