v2.0, May 2007
The configuration of the VPN Tunnel and Port Forwarding features are described in Chapter6,
“Configuring the SSL VPN Tunnel Client and Port Forwarding”.
Adding Portal LayoutsThe SSL VPN Concentrator administrator may define individual layouts for the SSL VPN portal.
The layout configuration includes the theme, menu layout, portal pages to display, portal
application icons to display, and web cache control options.
The default portal layout is the SSL-VPN portal. You can add additional portal layouts. You can
also make the any new portal the default portal for the SSL VPN gateway by selecting the default
radio button adjacent to the portal layout name.
To add a new portal layout:
1. Under the SSL VPN Portal menu on the left navigation pane, click Portal Layouts and click
Add Layout. The Portal Layout page displays.
2. In the Portal Layout and Theme Name section:
a. Enter a descriptive name for the portal layout in the Portal Layout Name field. This name
will be part of the path of the SSL VPN portal URL.
Only alphanumeric characters, hyphen (-), and underscore (_) are accepted for the Portal
Layout Name. If you enter other types of characters or spaces, the layout name will be
truncated before the first non-alphanumeric character. Please note that unlike most other
URLs, this name is case sensitive.
Note: To apply a portal layout to a domain, add a new domain and select the portal layout
from the Portal Layout Name menu on the domain configuration page. The
selected portal layout will be applied to all users in the new domain.
Note: Custom portals are accessed at a different URL than the default portal. For
example, if your SSL VPN portal is hosted at
https://vpn.company.com, and you created a portal layout named “sales”,
then users will be able to access the sub-site at
https://vpn.company.com/portal/sales.
