Scenario 2: Creating Guest Accounts Using the Local Users List

To create a guest authentication realm for the guest users

1In the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway Administration Tool, click the Authentication tab.

2In Realm Name, type Guest.

3Select One Source and click Add.

4At Select Authentication Type, select Local authentication only and then click OK.

5From the Authorization tab, select No authorization.

6Click Submit.

Creating Local Users

Creating local users is the second of three procedures the administrator performs in the scenario for cre- ating guest accounts using the Local Users list.

In this procedure, the administrator creates local user accounts for Silvio Branco and Lisa Marth on the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway and provides each user with a password.

To add the local users

1Click the Access Policy Manager tab.

2Right-click Local Users and select New User.

3In User Name, type Lisa Marth.

4In the Password and Verify Password fields, enter a password for Lisa Marth and click OK.

5Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for to create a local user account for Silvio Branco.

Creating and Assigning a Network Resource to the Default User Group

Creating and assigning a network resource to the Default user group is the last of three procedures in the scenario for creating guest accounts using the Local Users list.

In this step, the administrator creates a network resource that specifies only the Web conference server and then assigns this resource to the Default user group.

1From the right pane of the Access Policy Manager tab in the Administration Tool, create a new network resource named "Guest Resource." Specify only the IP address of the Web conference server when creating this network resource (for example 10.10.50.60/32).

2In the left pane, expand the "Default" user group.

3Drag the "Guest Resource" network resource from the right pane of the Access Policy Manager tab to the Network Policies of the "Default" group in the left pane.

Note

If a user logs on and cannot get group information, the user will always use the Default group settings.

When this procedure is complete, the administrator has accomplished the following:

•Silvio Branco and Lisa Marth can enter the user credential "Guest\Silvio Branco" or "Guest\Lisa Marth" to authenticate to the Guest realm on the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway. Silvio and Lisa must include the realm name as part of their user name credential when authenticating because they authenticate to a realm that is not the Default authentication realm.

•Silvio and Lisa also use the passwords that the administrator specified for them to authenticate to the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway. The administrator entered these passwords when creating Silvio and Lisa as local users on the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway.
