ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308
Configure User Accounts
When you create a user account, you need to assign the user to a user group. When you
create a group, you need to assign the group to a domain that specifies the authentication
method. Therefore, you should first create any domains, then groups, and then user
accounts.
Note: IPSec VPN, L2TP, and PPTP users do not belong to a domain and
are not assigned to a group.
There are two default user accounts:
•A user with the name admin and the password password. This is a user who has
read/write access, is associated with the domain geardomain, and is denied login from
the WAN interface by default. The user name is appended by an asterisk. You cannot
delete this user account.
•A user with the name guest and the password password. This is a user who has
read-only access, is associated with the domain geardomain, and is denied login from the
WAN interface by default. The user name is appended by an asterisk. You cannot delete
this user account.
You can create five different types of user accounts by applying one of the predefined user
types:
•SSL VPN user. A user who can log in only to the SSL VPN portal.
•Administrator. A user who has full access and the capacity to change the VPN firewall
configuration (that is, read-write access).
•Guest user. A user who can only view the VPN firewall configuration (that is, read-only
access).
•IPSec VPN user. A user who can make an IPSec VPN connection only through a
NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client, and only when the XAUTH feature is enabled (see
Configure Extended Authentication (XAUTH) on page 239).
•L2TP user. A user who can connect over an L2TP connection to an L2TP client that is
located behind the VPN firewall.
•PPTP user. A user who can connect over a PPTP connection to a PPTP client that is
located behind the VPN firewall.
To create a user account:
1. Select Users > Users. The Users screen displays. (The following figure shows the VPN
firewall’s default users—admin and guest—and, as an example, several other users in
the List of Users table.)
