3. For port forwarding, define the servers and services (see
Forwarding on page 267).
Create a list of servers and services that can be made available through user, group, or
global policies. You can also associate fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) with these
servers. The wireless VPN firewall resolves the names to the servers using the list you
have created.
4. For SSL VPN tunnel service, configure the virtual network adapter (see
VPN Client on page 269).
For the SSL VPN tunnel option, the wireless VPN firewall creates a virtual network
adapter on the remote computer that then functions as if it were on the local network.
Configure the portal's SSL VPN client to define a pool of local IP addresses to be issued
to remote clients, as well as DNS addresses. Declare static routes or grant full access to
the local network, subject to additional policies.
5. To simplify policies, define network resource objects (see
Simplify Policies on page 273).
Network resource objects are groups of IP addresses, IP address ranges, and services.
By defining resource objects, you can more quickly create and configure network policies.
6. Configure the SSL VPN policies (see
page 276).
Policies determine access to network resources and addresses for individual users,
groups, or everyone.

Create the Portal Layout

The Portal Layouts screen that you can access from the SSL VPN configuration menu allows
you to create a custom screen that remote users see when they log in to the portal. Because
the log-in screen is completely customizable, it provides an ideal way to communicate remote
access instructions, support information, technical contact information, or VPN-related news
updates to remote users. The log-in screen is also well suited as a starting screen for
restricted users; if mobile users or business partners are permitted to access only a few
resources, the log-in screen that you create presents only the resources that are relevant to
these users.
You apply portal layouts by selecting one from the available portal layouts in the configuration
of a domain. When you have completed your portal layout, you can apply the portal layout to
one or more authentication domains (see
make the new portal the default portal for the SSL VPN gateway by selecting the default radio
button adjacent to the portal layout name.
The wireless VPN firewall's default portal address is https://<IP_address>/portal/SSL-VPN, in
which the IP address can be either an IPv4 or an IPv6 address. Both types of addresses are
supported simultaneously. The default domain geardomain is assigned to the default
SSL-VPN portal.
