Applying VPN Access Policies to Groups/Users

SonicOS 5.2 supports 2 VPN clients; Global VPN Client (GVC), an IPSec client and NetExtender, a SSL-VPN client. Both clients can utilize LDAP groups/users for authentication and access, but each does it in a slightly different manner.

Global VPN Client (GVC)

We will configure the WAN GroupVPN to support using LDAP credentials for authentication and access.

Step 1: Navigate to VPN > Settings and configure the WAN GroupVPN policy.

GVC supports the use of XAUTH for authenticating VPN users. Under the Advanced tab set the “Require Authentication of VPN clients via XAUTH” setting. Anyone that needs VPN access must be a member of the group that is selected.
