The SSL-VPN portal enables remote users to access internal network resources through a secure channel using a web browser. FortiProxy administrators can configure login privileges for system users as well as the network resources that are available to the users.
This step in the configuration of the SSL-VPN tunnel sets up the infrastructure; the addressing, encryption, and certificates needed to make the initial connection to the FortiGate unit managed by a FortiProxy unit. This step is also where you configure what the remote user sees with a successful connection. The portal view defines the resources available to the remote users and the functionality they have on the network.
