Location: Policies > SECURITY PROFILES > Security Profiles > Endpoint Identification
- Open any desired profile to change, or click the appropriate button to add or delete the profile.

Select which method to use for authentication:
-
Captive Portal if you use Captive Portal for authentication.
See Captive Portal.
-
Transparent Authentication if you use LDAP for authentication.
Transparent authentication is valid only when LDAP is selected as User Type in the gateway's End User Management settings.
Note:LDAP settings for Cloud Edge must be supported in your location.
For transparent authentication, Cloud Edge retrieves the log-in log information from the Domain Controller periodically, which makes it possible to map a user to an IP address. If this fails, Cloud Edge directly connects to the client machine (the one trying to access a location outside the network) to query for the current logged-in user. (This requires that the LDAP settings account has the appropriate privileges.)
