The Iauto Settings menu lets you edit or create a link of the iauto type.
The iauto link provides automatic login access to a password-protected
web page through a secure SSL connection. This feature is useful when a
web server requires user authentication, such as a web server providing
Outlook Web Access.
The iauto link directs the HTTP request to the VPN Gateway where the
rewrite prefix (boldface) is added to the link. See example below:
https://portal.example.com/https/inside.example.com/login/login.asp
The VPN Gateway manages authentication to the backend server. This
ensures that user name and password will not be visible in the client
browser.
The iauto link supports form-based authentication as well as
HTTP-based authentication, such as NTLM or basic (www-authenticate).
When you have entered the URL following the iauto command, the
VPN Gateway automatically retrieves the URL to analyze which type of
authentication method it uses. The result is displayed in the CLI:

.
If the specified URL uses HTTP-based authentication, a message
will confirm this and the link is complete. The remote user will
automatically be logged on to this web page if the credentials are the
same as those provided on the Portal. If not, a form will be displayed
for the user to provide the required credentials.
If the specified URL uses form-based authentication, the input fields
found on the web page will be displayed in the CLI for you to specify
which values to insert. The <var:user> and <var:password>
macros expand to the logged in Portal user's credentials. The
<var:domain> macro expands to the domain name specified for the
current authentication method, using the /cfg/vpn #/aaa/auth
#/domain command (see
