The user name in reports reflects the user name logged by the firewall when GBAuth is used for authentication The process of ensuring the identity of the connecting user or participants exchanging electronic data. Makes sure the person or server at either end of a connection is who they/it claim to be and not an impostor.. If you are not using authentication log data, run these reports by entering the wildcard percent symbol (%) in the user name field and use the source IP address for user identification.

Reports show data in table form. Every report can be charted, therefore any of the standard reports listed below can be used to create a chart of the same information using the contextual menu item by selecting Chart Current Report from the report Window dropdown menu.

Note

The user IP address is another term for the source IP address.
