SSL-VPN Portals

SSL-VPN Portals

The SSL-VPN portal enables remote users to access internal network resources through a secure channel using a web browser. FortiProxy administrators can configure login privileges for system users as well as the network resources that are available to the users.

This step in the configuration of the SSL-VPN tunnel sets up the infrastructure; the addressing, encryption, and certificates needed to make the initial connection to the FortiProxy unit. This step is also where you configure what the remote user sees with a successful connection. The portal view defines the resources available to the remote users and the functionality they have on the network.

Hover over the leftmost edge of the column heading to display the Configure Table icon, which you can use to select the columns to display or to reset all the columns to their default settings. You can also drag column headings to change their order.
