Managing Users & Groups

Group Policies

To manage the remote users that will tunnel into your corporate network, you should organize users that share similar access and security needs into groups. For each group, you assign a set of policies that determine the Aurorean Client features and functions that members of that group can use.

Aurorean Virtual Network policies fall into four categories:

HDial policies determine the remote user’s control over the POP phone numbers dialed by Aurorean Client. These policies include whether the user can:

–Change the default order in which POP phone numbers are dialed.

–Edit the phone number digit string before it is dialed, to add special dialing codes or change the digits.

–Manually dial the POP phone number using a telephone instead of relying on the modem to generate the digits.

–Dial a nationwide phone number, such as an 800, 888, or 877 number, instead of a local phone number.

HPassword policies indicate whether members of this group can save their ISP, corporate ISP and VPN passwords on their Aurorean Client computers, so that they do not need to enter these passwords each time they connect.

HCredit card policies specify if users can bill international calls against a calling card and save personal calling card numbers on their Aurorean Client computers, so that they do not need to enter these numbers each time they connect.

HTunnel policies determine the tunneling protocol (IPSec or PPTP) used on all tunnels started by this group’s members, whether Firewall/NAT traversal is allowed for Aurorean Client users to reach non-native networks, and whether the IPX protocol can be used over the tunnel to access Novell NetWare servers.

For instructions on setting group policies, refer to “Creating a New Group” on page 127. The policy settings are packaged in the Aurorean Client installation kit that you create for each group as described in the next section. You can change a group’s policies after this kit is distributed and installed. The modified policies can be automatically updated on the Aurorean Client computer as described in “Client Synchronization” on page 124.
