SonicWALL SSL VPN 5.0 User Guide
Managing Bookmarks
Bookmarks are objects that enable you to connect to a location or application conveniently and
quickly. The Virtual Office Bookmark system allows bookmarks to be created at the group and
user levels. The administrator can create both group and user bookmarks which will apply to
applicable users while individual users can create only personal (user-level) bookmarks.
Since bookmarks are stored within the security appliance’s local configuration files, it is
necessary for group and user bookmarks to be correlated to defined group and user entities.
When working with local groups and users (LocalDomain), this is automated since the
administrator must manually define the groups and users on the device. Similarly, when
working with external groups (not LocalDomain), the correlation is automated since creating an
external domain creates a corresponding local group.
However, when working with external users, a local user entity must exist so that any user-
created (personal) bookmarks can be stored within the SSL-VPN’s configuration files. The need
to store bookmarks on the SSL-VPN itself is because LDAP, RADIUS, and NT authentication
external domains do not provide a direct facility to store such information as bookmarks.
Rather than requiring administrators to manually create local users for external domain users
wishing to use personal bookmarks, SonicWALL SSL VPN automatically creates a
corresponding local user entity when an external domain user logs in to the Virtual Office.
