Creating a new user account — IP addresses for VPN client and automatic logins
Automatic login can be set for the firewall (i.e. for the WinRoute host) or/and for any other
host(s) (i.e. when the user connects also from an additional workstation, such as notebooks,
etc.). An IP address group can be used for specification of multiple hosts (refer to chapter
Warning
Automatic login decreases user’s security. If an unauthorized user works on the computer for
which automatic login is enabled, he/she uses the identity of the host’s user who is authen-
ticated automatically. Therefore, automatic login should be accompanied by another security
feature, such as by user login to the operating system.
IP address which will be always assigned to the VPN client of the particular user can be speci-
fied under VPN client address. Using this method, a fixed IP address can be assigned to a user
when he/she connects to the local network via the Kerio VPN Client. It is possible to add this
IP to the list of IP addresses from which the user will be authenticated automatically.
