User Authentication on the FW in HACA Mode

In the cloud management scenario, access users are mainly authenticated in portal mode. As the authentication server is deployed on the cloud, a NAT device may be deployed between the FW and server. Ordinary portal authentication uses the portal protocol, and the authentication packets cannot traverse the NAT device. In this case, you can use the HACA protocol for authentication.
