Local User Databases are available for RDP, SSH and Telnet protocols, and can be used to authenticate the clients to credentials that are locally available on SPS. Such credentials include passwords and public keys. Local User Databases are most commonly used in inband gateway authentication scenarios.

User lists are local white- or blacklists of usernames that allow fine-control over who can access a connection or a channel.
|
NOTE:
User lists on SPS cannot prevent a user from accessing the server from a local terminal. |
You can use user lists when configuring gateway_groups or remote_groups in the allowed_for element of channel policies. For more information on configuring channel policies, see Channel policy.
To use this option, you must also configure web gateway authentication in the connection policy, or client-side gateway authentication back-end in the authentication policy.
