Creating the Portal Layout

The Portal Layouts screen that you can access from the SSL VPN menu allows you to create a
custom page that remote users see when they log in to the portal. Because the page is completely

information, technical contact information, or VPN-related news updates to remote users. The

are permitted to access only a few resources, the page that you create presents only the resources
that are relevant to these users.
