Configuring remote access users

Using local authentication

If the security gateway uses authenticating remote users for CCD, deliver the following pairs to the respective users.

NAME: The name created in Step 2.

PASSWORD: The password created in Step 3

Using RADIUS authentication (VPNos 3.X and VPNos 4.31)

If a RADIUS server is used for authenticating remote users for CCD, deliver the following pairs to the respective users.

NAME: The name created in Step 2

PASSWORD: The password stored in the user’s record of the RADIUS server.

Using LDAP authentication (VPnos 3.X only)

If the directory server is used authenticating remote users for CCD, deliver the following pairs to the respective users.

NAME: The name created in Step 2.

PASSWORD: The password created in Step 2

Using Policy Manager for user configuration

From the VPNmanager Policy Manager property, you can configure the client IP address pool for the remote users and define to users when they log on. (VPNos 3.x and VPNos 4.31 only) You can configure the RADIUS/ACE services.

Client IP address pool configuration

Access control devices (ACD), such as firewalls, guard the networks from unauthorized users. Analyzing source addresses is one method ACDs use to decide which packets can enter the network. ACD is a problem for VPNremote Client users. The addresses which ISPs dynamically assign to VPNremote Clients is naturally blocked because it is impossible to know ahead of time which address is assigned. The security gateway solves this problem by using Client IP Address Pools.
