## Proxy User

Proxy User is a Common Object that contains the mapping information for users of SunScreen proxies. The FTP and Telnet rules reference the proxy user entries.

Using the authentication feature of the FTP and Telnet proxies requires you to define an authorized user before you add a proxy user.

Use the fields and controls in the Proxy User dialog to enter configuration information for the Proxy User.

- Name Specifies the name of the proxy user.
- Description Adds a brief description of the proxy user.
- User Enabled Controls whether the user can login to the Screen.
- Authorized User Name Selects the name of the authorized user to be used to authenticate this proxy user. Names in this list are generated when you add an authorized user object. If this field is empty, authorization is not required for this user.
- Proxy User Group Identifies the user group or groups to which the user belongs. If no groups are selected, the user does not belong to any groups.
- Backend User Name Identifies the user on a specific server. Defaults to the user name. At present, only the FTP proxy uses this field.
