52 Barracuda SSL VPN Administrator’s Guide
Profiles
Profiles configure the general working environment for a user. The system provides two areas of
control and they are the Session and Barracuda SSL VPN Agent properties. Simply put, a Profile
provides the means for an administrator or user to alter the general working environment of the
system. Modification is encapsulated into two distinct areas: those that affect a session and those that
affect the Barracuda SSL VPN Agent.
The Barracuda SSL VPN Agent is an applet that tunnels data from insecure applications. The Agent
intercepts the data and encrypts transmission. The SSL VPN Agent is mainly used by Resources such
as SSL tunnels and Web Forwards. The session parameters affect how the active session behaves and
includes such things as session inactivity timeout which defines how long a user can sit idle before
being automatically logged out.
Profiles can be accessed and configured by both the administrator and the user, however only the
administrator can configure the system default Profile. Users themselves - if given the permission to
do so - can create and manage their own Profiles. Profiles are a great way for users to configure an
environment based upon where they are accessing the system from. For example, a user might
configure a ‘home’ Profile which is configured for use when working from home and another called
‘On-site’ which could be used for when the user is on a customer site.
