Creating and Applying Clientless SSL VPN Policies for Accessing Resources
You can type a string consisting of up to 40 characters, and equal to one of the valid character sets
identified in http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets. You can use either the name or the alias of
a character set listed on that page. The string is case-insensitive. The command interpreter converts
upper-case to lower-case when you save the ASA configuration.
Note
Authenticating with Digital Certificates
Clientless SSL VPN users that authenticate using digital certificates do not use global authentication and
authorization settings. Instead, they use an authorization server to authenticate once the certificate
validation occurs. For more information on authentication and authorization using digital certificates,
see the “Using Certificates and User Login Credentials” section on page 35-9.
Creating and Applying Clientless SSL VPN Policies for
Accessing Resources
Creating and applying policies for clientless SSL VPN that govern access to resources at the central site
includes the following task:
•Assigning Users to Group Policies
Chapter 67, “Configuring Connection Profiles, Group Policies, and Users” includes step-by-step
instructions for all of these tasks.
Assigning Users to Group Policies
Assigning users to group policies simplifies the configuration by letting you apply policies to many
users. You can use an internal authentication server on the ASA or an external RADIUS or LDAP server
to assign users to group policies. See Chapter 67, “Configuring Connection Profiles, Group Policies, and
Users”for a thorough explanation of ways to simplify configuration with group policies.
Using the Security Appliance Authentication Server
You can configure users to authenticate to the ASA internal authentication server, and assign these users
to a group policy on the ASA.
Using a RADIUS Server
Using a RADIUS server to authenticate users, assign users to group policies by following these steps:
Step1 Authenticate the user with RADIUS and use the Class attribute to assign that user to a particular group
policy.
Step2 Set the class attribute to the group policy name in the format OU=group_name
