NuFW is an authenticating firewall. It adds strict and secure identity-based filtering capabilities to enterprise-grade firewalls. It can also set quality of service on a per-user basis and log user activities into an SQL database. Furthermore, it can use multiple external authentication sources via PAM and be the key of a Single Sign On solution.
