authentication – Server configuration”).
• Encoded public key
• Public key certificate (.crt)
To test your settings, press the Test button. If authentication is
successful, a Server authentication successful message will appear. If
authentication is not configured properly, one of the following error
messages will appear:
Server authentication failed. Maximum time for authentication elapsed.
The authentication server is inaccessible. Check the server name/IP
address and/or verify the Personal firewall settings of the client as well
as the server section.
An error has occurred while communicating with the server.
The authentication server is not running. Start the authentication
server service (see section 4.2.6.1.2, “Zone authentication – Server
configuration”).
The name of the authentication zone does not match the server zone.
The configured zone name does not correspond with the
authentication server zone. Review both zones and ensure their
names are identical.
Server authentication failed. Server address not found in the list of addresses
for the given zone.
The IP address of the computer running the authentication
server is outside the defined IP address range of the current zone
configuration.
Server authentication failed. Probably an invalid public key was entered.
Verify that the public key specified corresponds to the private server
key. Also verify that the public key file is not corrupted.
2) By local network configuration
Authentication is performed according to a local network adapter
parameters. Authentication is successful if all selected parameters for
active connection are valid.
4.2.6.1.2 Zone authentication ‑ Server configuration
The authentication process can be executed by any computer/
server connected to the network that is to be authenticated. The
ESET Authentication Server application needs to be installed on
a computer/server that is always accessible for authentication
whenever a client attempts to connect to the network. The
installation file for the ESET Authentication Server application is
available for download on ESET’s website.
After you install the ESET Authentication Server application, a dialog
window will appear (you can access the application anytime under
Start > Programs > ESET > ESET Authentication Server > ESET
Authentication Server).
To configure the authentication server, enter the authentication zone
name, the server listening port (default is 80) as well as the location
to store the public and private key pair. Then generate the public and
private key that will be used in the authentication process. The private
key will remain set on the server while the public key needs to be
imported on the client side in the Zone authentication section when
setting up a zone in the firewall setup.
