Why each option
The SMTP Security Server in Check Point R77 handles content inspection but does not support user authentication, unlike the FTP, HTTP, and RLOGIN Security Servers.
The FTP Security Server supports user authentication, challenging users before allowing file transfers through the gateway.
The SMTP Security Server is designed for mail content security functions such as anti-virus scanning and spam filtering, not for authenticating individual users. Because SMTP is a store-and-forward protocol, there is no interactive session in which a user can be challenged and authenticated mid-connection.
The HTTP Security Server supports user authentication, enabling web-based client authentication workflows.
The RLOGIN Security Server supports user authentication for remote login sessions passing through the gateway.
