Configuring MUVPN client settings
The MUVPN client settings apply to all MUVPN connections to the Firebox X Edge e-Series. To configure
MUVPN client settings:
1 Use your browser to connect to the System Status page. From the navigation bar, select Firebox
Users > Settings.
The Settings page appears.
2 If necessary, use the scroll bar to scroll to the Firebox User Common MUVPN Client Settings
section.
3 You can lock the MUVPN client security policy (.wgx file) to prevent accidental changes. Select the
Make the MUVPN client security policy read-only check box.
4 The remote MUVPN computers can use a virtual adapter to get network settings, an IP address, and
WINS and DNS address assignments. You can set the virtual adapter rule for your mobile users to:
Disabled
The mobile user does not use a virtual adapter to connect with the MUVPN client. This is the
default value.
Preferred
If the virtual adapter is in use or is not available, the mobile user does not use a virtual adapter
to connect with the MUVPN client.
Required
The mobile user must use a virtual adapter to connect with the MUVPN client.
5 You also can enter a WINS Server address and DNS Server address. Type the server IP addresses in
the related field.
For more information on configuring the Mobile User VPN client computer, see “Configuring the MUVPN Client”
on page 145.
Authenticating to the Edge
When you authenticate with the Firebox X Edge e-Series, it automatically identifies your Administrative
Access level. If you select the Automatically prompt for login on Web access option from Firebox
Users > Settings, users see the login dialog box when they open their web browser. If you select this
option or not, you can always open the authentication login dialog box with this procedure:
1 Open a web browser.
You can use Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. It is possible to use the Firebox X Edge with other
Web browsers that support Java script, but we do not support them.
2 To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the browser address bar, and the IP
address of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1
3 A security dialog box appears. You must accept the warning before you can continue.
Note
If your web browser is configured to block pop-up windows, it is possible that some dialog boxes used
by the Firebox X Edge will not appear. This includes dialog boxes used by wizards, and the dialog box
used to log in to the Edge.
When you authenticate with the Firebox X Edge e-Series, one of two screens appears. A user with Read-
Only or Full Administrative Access sees the Edge System Status page. A user with Administrative Access
set to None sees a dialog box with an authentication status message. This dialog box is known as the
Login Status dialog box.
