Chapter 5: Configuring remote access users

VPNremote™ Client users who log in to the VPN through the security gateway must have their user authentication configured on the security gateway. User objects are used for creating remote users. Those remote users connect to the VPN through an ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Each user is defined by a name, password, and dyna-policy distribution and authentication method.

As a minimum, you must configure the user name and the password for each remote user. The dyna-policy can be defined globally for all users on the VPN or you can define them for individual remote users.

This chapter describes how to:

●Configure a default client configuration

●Create new remote users

●Configuring a dyna-policy, either global or for individual users

●Establish a path to a secure DNS server to resolve client DNS names

●Use Policy Manager to configure client IP address pools, Radius/ACE authentication and create a legal notice for users

●Define the type of IKE identifier associated with a user

Default client configuration

When you create a domain with VPNmanager, a default client configuration download (CCD) is configured that can be shared by the users. Using the default client configuration makes it faster to configure new user parameters. The default configuration can be changed as required by your specific security and authentication requirements.

The VPNmanager Preferences property includes three tabs, Dyna-Policy Default (Users), Dyna-Policy Default (Global), and Dyna-Policy Authentication that are configured with the dyna-policy parameters. The parameters can be changed any time. This configuration is the default dyna-policy for all users. When you create new users, if the user should not use the CCD, you must check Do not use default Dyna-Policyon the User Dyna-Policy tab.
