  It's a "yes" to my question.  Your original post said only that the
portal did authentication.  It said nothing about the gateway doing
authentication.

  You said that everyone gets authenticated through the web portal.
Why?  It's not necessary to authenticate people twice.  It causes
problems, as you've seen.

  You don't need the web portal authentication, unless it's for some
other purpose you're not saying.
