Measures reported by FgFnUsersTest
A user is a user account that consists of a user name, password and in some cases, other information that can be configured on the unit or on an external authentication server. Users can access resources that require authentication only if they are members of an allowed user group.
When configuring a user account on the firewall, you can indicate whether the user is to be allowed to authenticate (i.e., enabled) or blocked from authenticating (i.e., disabled). This test auto-discovers the user accounts configured on the firewall, and reports which user accounts are allowed to authenticate and which are not.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |

| User_state |

If this measure reports the value Enabled, it indicates that the user account is allowed to authenticate. The value Disabled for a user account indicates that the user account is not allowed to authenticate.
The numeric values that correspond to the measure values discussed above have been listed in the table below:
| Measure Value |
Numeric Value |
| Enabled |
1 |
| Disabled |
0 |
Note:
Typically, this measure will report one of the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the authentication status of a user account. However, in the graph of this measure, the authentication status will be depicted using the corresponding numeric equivalents only. |
