Configuring the Appliance
Moving on
After importing the license and the working certificate, your SSL VPN
system is ready to be configured with additional administrator accounts
and the user accounts and services that you want the appliance to
provide in your network.
For step-by-step instructions for tasks outlined below, see the SSL VPN
Administrator help system (click the
Help
link in the top menu of the SSL
VPN Administrator) or the
SSL VPN
Administrator’s Guide
.
Your next steps with the software include:
1. Creating an external user storage.
2. Creating user groups and users. Accounts for both administrator
users and end-users are created in the same way. Administrator
access can be controlled with Access rules based on user groups.
3. Defining Access rules for allowing access to the services on the
appliance.
4. Defining the services you want to offer.

In addition to other services, you can also configure the SSL VPN
Web Console and the SSL VPN Administrator to be accessible
remotely through the Application Portal.
After configuring the administrator accounts, user accounts, and
services, you can optionally connect the SSL VPN appliance to the
Stonesoft Management Center. This allows you to monitor the appliance
status through the Management Client. You can optionally also manage
the SSL VPN licenses through the Management Client. In addition, you
can configure that SSL VPN logs are sent to the Stonesoft Management
Center and can be viewed through the Management Client. See the
Stonesoft Administrator’s Guide
or the
Online Help
of the Management
Client for more information.
