have a primary portal page used by many groups and a separate portal page used only by guests. In that case, you
might identify the files as Primary Portal and Guest Portal. Alternatively, you might have several portal pages that
correspond to user groups and use names such as Admin Portal, Student Portal, IT Portal.

JPG files.

Enabling Portal Page Authentication

By default, a user must log on to the portal page and then again to the Firebox SSL Secure Access Client
or kiosk mode. You can eliminate the portal page logon step using either of the following methods:
• You can set a global policy that disables authentication for the portal page and that specifies the
portal page that displays for all users. This global policy overrides any portal page selections for
groups.
• You can include links to the Firebox SSL Secure Access Client and kiosk mode directly on your
Web site, as described in "Linking to Clients from Your Web Site" on page 41.

download and install the client for Linux.
