Scenario 1: Configuring LDAP Authentication and Authorization
166 Firebox SSL VPN Gateway
Creating the Appropriate Groups on the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway
Creating the appropriate groups on the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway is the third of five procedures the
administrator performs to configure access to the internal network resources in the configuring
LDAP authentication and authorization scenario.
In this step, the administrator creates user groups on the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway that have names
that match the groups the administrator identified or created in the LDAP directory.
In an earlier task, the administrator created LDAP directory groups named “Remote Sales” and
“Remote Engineers” in the LDAP directory.
In this step, the administrator must now create user groups named “Remote Sales” and “Remote
Engineers” on the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway.
1 Click the Access Policy Manager tab.
2 In the left pane, right-click User Groups and then click New Group .
In Group Name , type a name that is an exact case-sensitive match to an LDAP directory group
that was identified or created in the earlier procedure.
For example, type "Remote Sales" and then click OK .
3
At this point, a Group Properties window appears that includes several tabs. To simplify this
example, accept all of the default settings for the Group Properties and click OK .
The group properties provide additional settings that affect user access. For more information,
about group properties and creating local groups, see “Configuring Properties for a User Group” on
page 90.
Creating and Assigning Network Resources to the User Groups
Creating and assigning network resources to the user groups is the fourth of five procedures the
administrator performs to configure access to the internal network resources in the configuring
LDAP authentication and authorization scenario.
In this step, the administrator specifies the network resources (network segments or individual
computers) that users can access and then assigns those resources to the user groups on the
Firebox SSL VPN Gateway.
To complete this step, the administrator does the following:
• Creates a network resource named "Sales Resource" and assigns this resource to the "Remote
Sales" user group
• Creates a network resource named "Engineering Resource" and assigns this resource to the
"Remote Engineers" user group
Creating and Assigning Network Resources to the Sales Users
This section briefly discusses how the administrator creates a network resource for the Sales users
and assigns it to those users.
As noted earlier, the Sales users need access to these systems:
• An email server, Web conference server, and several file servers in the 10.10.0.0/24 network.
• A Sales Web application in the 10.60.10.0/24 network.
To create a network resource named "Sales Resource" for the Sales users
1
Click the Access Policy Manager tab.
2
In the right pane, right-click Network Resources and then click New Network Resource .
3 Type "Sales Resources" as the Network Resource Name, and click OK .
