Chapter 5 Configuring the Remote Access Web Portal

This chapter explains how to create multiple Web portals for different users and how to customize the appearance of a portal. It describes:

•Portal Layouts

•Portal Options

•Adding Portal Layouts

•Adding Terminal Services Applications to the Portal

•Customizing the Banner

•Duplicating and Editing Portal Layouts

•Creating a Guide to Using the Portal

If your implementation consists of only a single portal layout, you can simply modify the default layout “SSL-VPN.”

Portal Layouts

The SSL VPN Portal Layouts screen allows you to create a custom page that remote users will see when they log into the portal. Because the page is completely customizable, it provides the ideal way to communicate remote access instructions, support information, technical contact info or VPN-related news updates to remote users. The page is also well-suitedas a starting page for restricted users; if mobile users or business partners are only permitted to access a few files or web URLs, the page you create will only show those links relevant to these users.

Portal Layouts are applied by selecting from available layouts in the configuration of a Domain. When you have completed your Portal Layout, you can apply the Portal Layout to one or more authentication domains (see “Authentication Domains” on page 3-1to apply a Portal Layout to a Domain). You can also make the new portal the default portal for the SSL VPN gateway by selecting the default radio button adjacent to the portal layout name.
