SSL VPN enhancements
Single Sign-On
With this new feature, a web bookmark can include login credentials so that the SSL VPN
automatically logs the user into the web site. This means that the user logs into the SSL
VPN and then does not have to enter any more credentials to visit preconfigured web
sites. When the administrator configures bookmarks, the web site credentials must be the
same as the user’s SSL VPN credentials. Users configuring their own bookmarks can
specify alternative credentials for the web site.
To configure Single Sign-On bookmarks - web-based manager
1 Go to VPN > SSL > Portal and select the Edit icon for the portal.
2 Select the Edit icon in the Bookmarks widget title bar.
If the Bookmarks widget is missing, select Bookmarks from the Add Widget list.
3 In the Bookmarks widget, select Add.
4 Enter the following information:

• enter %passwd% to represent the user’s SSL VPN password
Add Enter another Field Name / Value pair, for the password, for example.
A new set of Field Name / Value fields is added. Fill them in.
