Granting unique access permissions for SSL VPN tunnel user groups

Configuring a FortiGate SSL VPN

Sample configuration for unique access permissions with tunnel mode user groups

In this sample configuration, there are two user groups, each one with a dedicated IP address range.

Note: The source address for both SSL VPN firewall policies can be left as ‘all’ when the users do not have static public IPs.

First, you establish the tunnel IP range. Go to VPN > SSL, and enable SSL-VPN.

Enter the Tunnel IP Range corresponding to the range of IP addresses available for the users/user groups, in this case 10.1.1.1 - 10.1.1.100.

Figure 14: Enable SSL-VPN Settings

After enabling SSL VPN, you must create the users and then the user groups that require SSL VPN tunnel mode access.

Go to User > Local and create user1 and user2 with password authentication.

Note: user1 only has permission to access the Linux server, while user2 only has permission to access the Windows PC.

After you create the users, you must create the SSL VPN user groups. In order to configure each user with different access permissions, you must create separate user groups and designate specific IP ranges for each group.

FortiOS v3.0 MR7 also introduces advanced intrusion prevention system (IPS) functionalities. The next-generation IPS utilizes deep packet inspection and real-time threat intelligence to detect and block attacks before they can compromise the network. Coupled with Fortinet’s threat research team, which ensures timely updates of security signatures, this system helps organizations mitigate risks posed by sophisticated cyber threats.

Another key characteristic of FortiOS v3.0 MR7 is its enhanced VPN capabilities. The support for both SSL and IPsec VPN allows secure remote access for employees and offers flexible options for secure communication over the internet. This feature is essential for organizations that embrace remote work, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected regardless of the user's location.

In addition to its powerful security features, FortiOS v3.0 MR7 includes advanced reporting and logging capabilities. Users can generate detailed reports that highlight security events, traffic patterns, and performance metrics. This data not only improves visibility into network security but also assists in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Moreover, the platform's user-friendly interface enhances the overall management experience. Administrators can quickly configure settings, monitor activity, and respond to incidents effectively. With centralized management capabilities, FortiOS v3.0 MR7 allows organizations to manage multiple devices from a single console, simplifying operations and reducing administrative overhead.

In summary, Fortinet's FortiOS v3.0 MR7 integrates a wealth of security features, including a stateful firewall, advanced IPS, VPN support, and comprehensive reporting functions.
