Enabling Mobile VPN for a Firebox User Account

2

Mobile User VPN

The Firebox X Edge creates a .wgx file for a user when a Firebox user’s account is configured for Mobile
VPN, as described in this chapter.

If you want to lock the profiles for mobile users by making them read-only, see “Configuring Global
Mobile VPN Client Settings” on page 3.

Enabling Mobile VPN for a Firebox User Account

1

To connect to the Edge 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

2

To add a new Firebox user, select Firebox Users > New User.

You can also edit the properties of an existing user. Go to the main Firebox User page and find the

name of the user account you want to edit.

3

On the Settings tab, type an Account Name for the user. Type the password for the user. This is
different from the shared secret you type in step 7 below.

The Full Name and Description fields are optional.

4

Select the Allow access to VPN check box.

5

Click the MUVPN tab.

6

Select the Enable MUVPN for this account check box.

7

Type a shared key in the related field.

The .wgx file is encrypted with this shared key. Do not give the shared key to any user that is not
authorized to use this Firebox user account.

8

Type the virtual IP address in the related field.

The virtual IP address must be an address on the Firebox X Edge trusted or optional network that
is not used and is not included within any range of DHCP addresses assigned by the Edge. This
address is used by the remote computer to connect to the Firebox X Edge.

9

Change the Authentication Algorithm or Encryption Algorithm settings if want to. You can
find more information about these settings in the Firebox X Edge User Guide.
