Direct access via web browser requires authentication is the restriction that is in place for end users accessing the spam quarantine on Cisco Secure Email Gateway appliances. Spam quarantine is a feature that allows Cisco ESA to store messages that are suspected to be spam and allow end users or administrators to review them and release or delete them as needed.
End users can access their personal spam quarantine on Cisco ESA either by clicking on a link in a notification email or by entering their email address and password in a web browser. In both cases, authentication is required to ensure security and privacy.
The other options are not valid restrictions that are in place for end users accessing the spam quarantine on Cisco Secure Email Gateway appliances, because they are either not mandatory or not related to authentication.
