Proxy User

The proxy user common object contains the mapping information for users of SunScreen proxies. The proxy user object has the subtypes single and group. FTP and Telnet rules reference the proxy user entries.

The proxy user object is automatically saved when it is edited or a new proxy user object is added. Any changes apply immediately and cannot be reversed. The Save Changes button is greyed out to show that it is inactive.
