7. Manage Users, Authentication, and
VPN Certificates
This chapter describes how to manage users, authentication, and security certificates for IPSec
VPN and SSL VPN. The chapter contains the following sections:
The VPN Firewall’s Authentication Process and Options
Configure Authentication Domains, Groups, and Users
Manage Digital Certificates for VPN Connections
The VPN Firewall’s Authentication Process and Options
Users are assigned to a group, and a group is assigned to a domain. Therefore, you should
first create any domains, then groups, then user accounts.
Note: Do not confuse the authentication groups with the LAN groups that
are discussed in
Manage IPv4 Groups and Hosts (IPv4 LAN
Groups) on page 91.
You need to create name and password accounts for all users who need to be able to
conn
ect to the VPN firewall. This includes administrators, guests, and SSL VPN clients.
Accounts for IPSec VPN clients are required only if you have enabled extended
authentication (XAUTH) in your IPSec VPN configuration.
Users connecting to the VPN firewall need to be authenticated before being allowed to
access the
VPN firewall or the VPN-protected network. The login screen that is presented to
the user requires three items: a user name, a password, and a domain selection. The domain
determines the authentication method that is used and, for SSL connections, the portal
layout that is presented.
Note: IPSec VPN, L2TP, and PPTP users do not belong to a domain and
are not assigned to a group.
