Getting Started with RiverMaster
Setting Up a Aurorean Virtual Network the First Time
When you start RiverMaster for the first time, you need to perform several
basic configuration steps to put your Aurorean Virtual Network into
operation. These basic steps are outlined below, with references to the
detailed instructions provided throughout this manual.
1 Enter the Aurorean VPN name for your Aurorean Virtual Network
equipment and enter the IP address(es) of the Aurorean Policy
Server(s).
You are prompted to enter these values the first time you start the
RiverMaster application.
2 After you login with the default user name and password, set the
authentication, encryption, and compression options used during
tunnel connections.
These options are set separately for each tunnel protocol (PPTP or
IPSec) as described in Chapter 3.
3 Allocate IP addresses for remote users to use when they tunnel into
the corporate network.
You can assign a specific address to each remote user or allow users
to dynamically draw addresses from a pool. Address pools are
created by defining virtual subnets as described in Chapter 3.
4 Configure the Aurorean Network Gateway to route packets from
remote users through the corporate network.
The Aurorean Network Gateway supports RIP, OSPF, and static
routes to forward packets to their destination; to configure these
routing protocols, refer to the instructions in Chapter 3.
5 Determine how remote Aurorean Client Software users will be
authenticated.
– To authenticate against a database residing on the Aurorean
Policy Server, you must use the Authorization service as
described in Chapter 4.
– To authenticate against an external RADIUS server, you must
configure an authorization plug-in as described in Chapter 4.
– To authenticate against an external SecurID server, you must
configure an authorization plug-in as described in Chapter 4.
