No. The organizations’ client networking application would need to be modified to work in such an environment since there are no users on the firewall. This is relatively easy to perform when you have UNIX workstations and source code; PC and MAC networking applications generally do not provide source and do not understand authentication procedures. Requiring this authentication would eliminate the transparency provided by the BorderWare Firewall Server.
