Chapter 8
Managing Users, Authentication, and Certificates
This chapter contains the following sections:
•
“Adding Authentication Domains, Groups, and Users”
•
“Managing Certificates”
Adding Authentication Domains, Groups, and Users
You must create name and password accounts for all users who will connect to the firewall. This
includes administrators and SSL VPN clients. Accounts for IPsec VPN clients are only needed if
you have enabled Extended Authentication (XAUTH) in your IPsec VPN configuration.
Users connecting to the firewall must be authenticated before being allowed to access the firewall
or the VPN-protected network. The login window presented to the user requires three items: a
User Name, a Password, and a Domain selection. The Domain determines the authentication
method to be used and, for SSL VPN connections, the portal layout that will be presented.
Except in the case of IPsec VPN users, when you create a user account, you must specify a group.
When you create a group, you must specify a domain. Therefore, you should create any needed
domains first, then groups, then user accounts.
Creating a Domain
The domain determines the authentication method to be used for associated users. For SSL VPN
connections, the domain also determines the portal layout that will be presented, which in turn
determines the network resources to which the associated users will have access.
To create a domain:
1.
Select
Users > Domains
from the main/sub-menu. The Domains screen displays.
Note:
IPsec VPN users will always belong to the default domain (geardomain) and are
not assigned to groups.
