Configuring the Remote Access Web Portal
This chapter explains how to create multiple Web portals for different users and how to customize
the appearance of a portal. It describes:
• Portal Layouts
• Portal Options
• Adding Portal Layouts
• Adding Terminal Services Applications to the Portal
• Customizing the Banner
• Duplicating and Editing Portal Layouts
• Creating a Guide to Using the Portal
If your implementation consists of only a single portal layout, you can simply modify the default
layout “SSL-VPN.”
Portal Layouts
The SSL VPN Portal Layouts screen allows you to create a custom page that remote users will
see when they log into the portal. Because the page is completely customizable, it provides the
ideal way to communicate remote access instructions, support information, technical contact info
or VPN-related news updates to remote users. The page is also well-suited as a starting page for
restricted users; if mobile users or business partners are only permitted to access a few files or web
URLs, the page you create will only show those links relevant to these users.
Portal Layouts are applied by selecting from available 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 “Authentication Domains” on page 3-1 to apply a Portal Layout to a
Domain). You can also make the new portal the default portal for the SSL VPN gateway by
selecting the default radio button adjacent to the portal layout name.
