Configuration Scenarios
The following table outlines all valid authentication configurations available in Rules, covering all protocol-specific combinations of Inbound Authentication Method, Inbound Authentication Source, and Outbound Credential Source.
While the USP Admin UI does not enforce this restriction immediately, you cannot configure a Rule with Inbound Authentication Source set to None (i.e., Authentication at the Proxy toggle disabled) and Outbound Credential Source set to Dedicated Credentials. This combination is not allowed and will prevent the Rule from being added.
- FTP(S)
- HTTP(S)
- SFTP
