Configuring User Accounts - NETGEAR SRX5308 - ProSafe® Quad WAN Gigabit SSL VPN Firewall Reference Manual

Configuring User Accounts

When you create a user account, you must assign the user to a user group. When you create a
group, you must assign the group to a domain that specifies the authentication method. Therefore,
you should first create any domains, then groups, and then user accounts.
You can create different types of user accounts by applying predefined user types:
• Administrator. A user who has full access and the capacity to change the VPN firewall
configuration (that is, read/write access).
• SSL VPN User. A user who can only log in to the SSL VPN portal.
• IPSEC VPN User. A user who can only make an IPsec VPN connection via a NETGEAR
ProSafe VPN Client, and only when the XAUTH feature is enabled (see
Extended Authentication (XAUTH)" on page
• Guest user. A user who can only view the VPN firewall configuration (that is, read-only
access).
To create an individual user account:
1. Select Users > Users from the menu. The Users screen displays.
firewall's default users—admin and guest—and, as an example, another user in the List of
Users table.
Figure 7-5
The List of Users table displays the users with the following fields:
• Check box. Allows you to select the user in the table.
• Name. The name of the user. If the user name is appended by an asterisk, the user is a
default user that came preconfigured with the VPN firewall and cannot be deleted.
