12 User Management
12-34 VPN 3000 Concentrator Series User Guide

Current Users

The Current Users list shows configured users in alphabetical order. If no users have been configured, the
list shows --Empty--.
Add / Modify / Delete
To configure a new user, click Add. The Manager opens the Configuration | User Management | Users | Add
screen.
To modify a user that has been configured, select the user from the list and click Modify. The Manager
opens the Configuration | User Management | Users | Modify screen.
To remove a user that has been configured, select the user from the list and click Delete. There is no
confirmation or undo. The Manager refreshes the screen and shows the remaining users in the list.
Reminder: The Manager immediately includes your changes in the active configuration. To save the active
configuration and make it the boot configuration, click the Save Needed icon at the top of the Manager
window.
Configuration | User Management | Users | Add or Modify
These Manager screens let you:
Add: Configure a new user and that user’s parameters on the internal authentication server.
Modify: Change parameters for a user that you have previously configured on the internal
authentication server. The screen title identifies the user you are modifying.
For many of these parameters, you can simply specify that the user “inherit” parameters from a group;
and a user can be assigned either to a configured group or to the base group. Users who are not members
of a configured group are, by default, members of the base group.
On this screen, you configure four kinds of parameters:
•Identity Parameters: name, password, group, and IP address.
•General Parameters: access, performance, and allowed tunneling protocols.
•IPSec Parameters: IP Security tunneling protocol.
•PPTP/L2TP Parameters: PPTP and L2TP tunneling protocols.
Tip: To streamline the configuration process, just fill in the Identity Parameters tab (assigning the user to a
configured group), and click Add. Then select the user and click Modify. The user inherits the group
parameters, and the Modify screen shows group parameters instead of base-group parameters.
Before configuring these parameters, you should configure the base-group parameters on the
Configuration | User Management | Base Group screen, and configure group parameters on the Configuration
|User Management | Groups screen.
Using the tabs
This screen includes four tabbed sections. Click each tab to display its parameters. As you move from
tab to tab, the Manager retains your settings. When you have finished setting parameters on all tabbed
sections, click Add / Apply or Cancel.
