To automate Offline Firewall Authentication, use the Barracuda CloudGen Firewall Authentication Client. After installing the client application, the user will be automatically logged in to the firewall authentication service every time they log into Windows. The Authentication Client can automatically start with Microsoft Windows and will run until you close the client by selecting Exit from the tray menu icon. The active firewall authentication will time out once the client is closed.
