Adding Portals

The administrator can customize a portal that appears as a customized landing page to users when they are redirected to the SRA appliance for authentication.

The network administrator may define individual layouts for the portal. The layout configuration includes menu layout, portal pages to display, portal application icons to display, and Web cache control options.

The default portal is the Virtual Office portal. Additional portals can be added and modified.

To add a portal:

Navigate to the Portals > Portals window and click the Add Portal button. The Portal Settings window is displayed.

Table 22 provides a description of the fields you may configure on the General tab. Refer to Configuring General Portal Settings for the specific steps required to configure a custom portal.

Table 22. General Tab Fields
Field	Description
Portal Name	The title used to refer to this portal. It is for internal reference only, and is not displayed to users.
Portal Site Title	The title that will appear on the Web browser title bar of users access this portal.
Portal Banner Title	The welcome text that will appear on top of the portal screen.
Login Message	Optional text that appears on the portal login page above the authentication area.
Portal URL	The URL that is used to access this specific portal.
Display custom login page	Displays the customized login page rather than the default login page for this portal.
Display login message on custom login page	Displays the text specified in the Login Message text box.
Hide Domain list on portal login page	If enabled, this option replaces the Domain list box on the login page to a text box. The user can then type in the correct domain name. This option is only enabled for portal login via Web.
Enable HTTP meta tags for cache control	Enables HTTP meta tags in all HTTP/HTTPS pages served to remote users to prevent their browser from caching content.
Enable ActiveX Web cache cleaner	Loads an ActiveX control (browser support required) that cleans up all session content after the SRA session is closed.
Enforce login uniqueness	If enforced, login uniqueness restricts each account to one session at a time. Select to Automatically logout existing session or Confirm logout of existing session as the preferred Enforcement Method. If not enforced, each account can have multiple simultaneous sessions.
Enforce client source uniqueness	If enforced, client source uniqueness prevents multiple connections from a user with the same client source address when connecting with a Dell SonicWALL client (NetExtender, Mobile Connect, Virtual Assist etc.). This prevents a user from consuming multiple licenses when a user reconnects after an unexpected network interruption.
