Figure 15.8 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 14.1).

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.

For detailed information on the Kerio Technologies’ proprietary VPN solution, refer to chap-

ter 23.

above, divided into tabs in one window.
