Configuring Resources for a User Group

To create a file share resource

1Click the Access Policy Manager tab.

2In the right pane, right-clickFile Share Resources, click New File Share Resource, type a name, and click OK.

3In Share Source, type the path to the share source using the form: //server/share.

4In Mount Type, select the file sharing network protocol, either CIFS/SMB or NFS.

Note

CIFS/SMB is the Common Internet File System/Server Message Block network protocol used for file sharing in Microsoft Windows. NFS is the Network File System that allows you to mount a disk partition on a remote computer as if it was on the hard drive on the local computer. NFS is typically used with Linux computers.

5If administrative user credentials are required to mount a CIFS/SMB drive, in User Name, specify the

user name and in Password, type a password. These fields are not enabled for NFS.

All users who access the share have the rights of this user. You might want to create a dummy domain user, like “sslvpn_share” to use for ssl vpn share access.

6In Domain, type the Active Directory domain of the share. This field is not enabled for NFS.

7In Permissions, specify whether you want remote users to have read/write or read-only permissions for the share.

Note

Users can use the FTP protocol to send and receive files to the remote computer.

8Click OK.

To add a share to a group, the share must be added to the kiosk resource first. Then the kiosk resource is dragged and dropped to the group in the left pane.

To remove a share

On the Access Policy Manager tab, in the right-pane, right-click the file share and click Remove.

Configuring kiosk mode

Kiosk mode is configured using kiosk resources that define the network shares and applications users have access to when they log on in kiosk mode. By default, kiosk mode is disabled. To enable it, the resources are configured and then added to user groups. For more information about client connec- tions, see “Working with Client Connections” on page 117.

Kiosk mode is configured on the Access Policy Manager tab and then added to the groups in the left pane.

Note

If the user has general Internet access before making a connection, the user can browse the Internet from the Firefox browser in the Web browser window, unless a network resource is defined that denies access to the Internet.

To create and configure a kiosk resource
