set by using user’s web browser preferences, language set as preferred for the previous user’s

login to the web interface will be used. If the user has not logged into the web interface before,

alerts will be in English.

Note: These settings can be customized at a corresponding page of the WinRoute’s web in-

terface (see chapter

11.4

). If the user can override content rules, any changes can be made.

Users who are not allowed to override rules can enable or/and disable only features which are

available for them (set in their personal configuration). Language preferences can be changed

whenever needed (settings also apply to the Administration Console).

Hint

Content rules can also be defined by a user account template.

Step 6 — user’s IP addresses

Figure 15.8

Creating a new user account — IP addresses for VPN client and automatic logins

If a user works at a reserved workstation (i.e. this computer is not by any other user) with

a fixed IP address (static or reserved at the DHCP server), the user can use automatic login

from the particular IP address. This implies that whenever a connection attempt from this IP

address is detected, WinRoute assumes that the connection is performed by the particular user

and it does not require authentication. The user is logged-in automatically and all functions

are available as if connected against the username and password.

This implies that only one user can be automatically authenticated from a particular IP ad-

dress. When a user account is being created, WinRoute automatically detects whether the

specified IP address is used for automatic login or not.
