User profiles tab

Operating principle

All servers configured in the SSL VPN portal module are listed on the authentication portal by default. As such, users who have the right to access SSL VPN portal features on the firewall have access to all the servers configured by the administrator. The concept of using profiles makes it possible to determine which users will have access to which servers configured in the SSL VPN portal.

Configuring a profile

Adding a profile

The procedure for adding a profile to the list of available SSL VPN profiles is as follows:

  1. Click on Add.
  2. Specify the Profile name.
  3. Click on Apply.
    The configuration of the profile appears on the right side of the screen.
  4. In the list of “Accessible web servers” and “Accessible application servers”, enable the servers that will be accessible to users who belong to this profile.
  5. Click on Apply to activate the configuration.

WARNING
Profiles cannot be created if there is not at least 1 configured SSL VPN server.

Deleting a profile

The procedure for deleting a profile is as follows:

  1. Select the profile you wish to delete.
  2. Click on Delete.

Using a profile

A profile can be used in two different ways:

  • Either as the default profile in the configuration of the SSL VPN portal,
  • Or assigned to one or several users as the specific profile of these users.

Using a profile as a default profile

The procedure for using a profile as the default profile in the SSL VPN portal configuration (users who do not have a specific profile will be assigned this default profile) is as follows:

  1. Create a profile in SSL VPN portal > User profiles tab.
  2. Define the profile to be used as the default profile (name of the profile and associated servers) in the configuration menu Users > VPN Access privileges > Default access > SSL VPN.

Using a profile as the specific profile for one or several users

The procedure for using a profile as the specific profile for one or several users (regardless of the list of servers defined by the default profile, these users will possess a list of specific servers) is as follows:

  1. Define the profile to be used as the specific profile (name of the profile and associated servers) in User profiles in the SSL VPN portal module.
  2. Apply changes by clicking on Apply.
  3. In Users > Access privileges > Detailed access, select the user.
  4. In the “SSL VPN” column, select the profile defined earlier.
  5. Click on Apply.
