Configuring Groups and Users

VPN features and configurations are assigned and “pushed” down to clients on the basis of group and user assignment and configuration. As with basic network-resource sharing, this is always most scalable and easier to administer if features are assigned to defined groups. Individual users are then put in groups to assign features to them. Then, if a person leaves or changes his or her job role, that person only needs to be removed from the group.

The Configuration | User Management screen is used to configure VPN 3000 Concentrator group and user parameters for IPSec, PPTP, and L2TP. The following are the three configuration options:

• Base Group—default group and user parameters

• Groups—add and modify groups and group parameters

• Users—add and modify users and user parameters
