Managing Users & Groups
Group Policies
To manage the remote users that will tunnel into your corporate network, you
should organize users that share similar access and security needs into
groups. For each group, you assign a set of policies that determine the
Aurorean Client features and functions that members of that group can use.
Aurorean Virtual Network policies fall into four categories:
H Dial policies determine the remote user’s control over the POP phone
numbers dialed by Aurorean Client. These policies include whether
the user can:
– Change the default order in which POP phone numbers are
dialed.
– Edit the phone number digit string before it is dialed, to add
special dialing codes or change the digits.
– Manually dial the POP phone number using a telephone instead
of relying on the modem to generate the digits.
– Dial a nationwide phone number, such as an 800, 888, or 877
number, instead of a local phone number.
H Password policies indicate whether members of this group can save
their ISP, corporate ISP and VPN passwords on their Aurorean Client
computers, so that they do not need to enter these passwords each
time they connect.
H Credit card policies specify if users can bill international calls against a
calling card and save personal calling card numbers on their
Aurorean Client computers, so that they do not need to enter these
numbers each time they connect.
H Tunnel policies determine the tunneling protocol (IPSec or PPTP) used
on all tunnels started by this group’s members, whether
Firewall/NAT traversal is allowed for Aurorean Client users to reach
non-native networks, and whether the IPX protocol can be used over
the tunnel to access Novell NetWare servers.
For instructions on setting group policies, refer to “Creating a New Group”
on page 127. The policy settings are packaged in the Aurorean Client
installation kit that you create for each group as described in the next section.
You can change a group’s policies after this kit is distributed and installed.
The modified policies can be automatically updated on the Aurorean Client
computer as described in “Client Synchronization” on page 124.
