64 Firebox SSL VPN Gateway
Configuring Local Users
You can create user accounts locally on the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway to supplement the
users on authentication servers. For example, you might want to create local user
accounts for temporary users, such as consultants or visitors, without creating an
entry for those users on the authentication server. In that case, you add the user to
the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway local user list as described in this section.
To add a user to another group, under
Local Users , click and drag the user to the
appropriate user group.
If a user is not a member of a group or groups you defined on the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway, the user
receives the settings for the Default user group. If a user is part of a group other than the Default group,
the user inherits only the settings of the
Default group if the group is configured to receive those settings. For more information, see “Default
group properties” on page 90.
