In the 

Client Cleanup Options

 section, configure default values and configure whether the user 

can modify the default.
By default 

Java Cache Cleanup

 and 

Clear Browser Private Data

 options are enabled and the 

Allow User to Override

 option is enabled for all options.

Click 

OK

.

5

Update the SSL VPN server.

6

Log in as an SSL VPN client.

7

Logout

.

Based on the configuration in the Administration Console, you can select some cleanup 
options, but others are disabled.

4.2.4  Test Results

Your selection for the cleanup options should be available when you log out as an SSL VPN client.

4.3  Configuring for HMAC (Hash-Based Message 
Authentication Code)

HMAC is an option provided by OpenVPN* to authenticate the client before OpenVPN negotiation 
is initiated. It means that the first packet from the OpenVPN client to the OpenVPN server contains 
the HMAC signature. This beta scenario verifies that the client gets the HMAC key from the server 
and uses it to authenticate.

You generate the HMAC key by using the Administration Console. This beta scenario verifies that 
any ongoing client connections are torn down with an OpenVPN error and that subsequent 
connections are successful.

4.3.1  Assumptions

The HMAC key is applicable only for Enterprise mode clients.

4.3.2  Known Issues

None.

4.3.3  Procedure 

1

Log in to the Administration Console. 

2

Click 

Devices > SSL VPNs > Edit > Basic Configuration

.

Authentication Hardening

 option to 

On

.

The 

Re-generate

 button appears beside the option with the current time stamp.

4

Click 

OK

.

5

Update the SSL VPN server.

6

As an Enterprise client, connect to SSL VPN server by using the published SSL VPN URL.

7

In the Administration Console, click 

Devices > SSL VPNs > Basic Configuration
