Chapter 38 Clientless SSL VPN
Auto Signon
Auto Signon
The Auto Signon window or tab lets you configure or edit auto signon for users of Clientless SSL VPN.
Auto signon is a simplified single signon method that you can use if you do not already have an SSO
method deployed on your internal network. With auto signon configured for particular internal servers,
the security appliance passes the login credentials that the user of Clientless SSL VPN entered to log in
to the security appliance (username and password) to those particular internal servers. You configure the
security appliance to respond to a specific authentication method for a particular range of servers. The
authentication methods you can configure the security appliance to respond to consists of authentication
using Basic (HTTP), NTLM, FTP and CIFS, or all of these methods.
Auto signon is a straight-forward method for configuring SSO for particular internal servers. This
section describes the procedure for setting up SSO with auto signon. If you already have SSO deployed
using Computer Associates’ SiteMinder SSO server, or if you have Security Assertion Markup Language
(SAML) Browser Post Profile SSO, and if you want to configure the security appliance to support this
solution, see SSO Servers.
Note Do not enable auto signon for servers that do not require authentication or that use credentials different
from the security appliance. When auto signon is enabled, the security appliance passes on the login
credentials that the user entered to log into the security appliance regardless of what credentials are in
user storage.
