Chapter 33 Configuring Policy Objects for Remote Access VPNs
Add or Edit User Group Dialog Box
Add or Edit User Group Dialog Box
Use the Add or Edit User Group dialog box to create or edit a user group object. User group objects are
used in Easy VPN topologies, remote access VPNs, and SSL VPNs for IOS devices.
When you configure a remote access VPN, SSL VPN, or Easy VPN server, you can create user groups
to which remote clients belong. The remote clients must be configured with the same group name as the
user group on the VPN server in order to connect to the server; otherwise, no connection is established.
When the remote client connects to the VPN server successfully, the group policies for that particular
user group are pushed to all remote clients belonging to the user group.
For more information about user groups, see:
• Configuring User Group Policies, page 32-13
• Configuring a User Group Policy for Easy VPN, page 27-14
• Configuring an SSL VPN Policy (IOS), page 32-14
Note You must select the technology (Easy VPN/Remote Access VPN, or SSL VPN) for which you are
creating the user group object. If you are editing an existing user group object, the technology is already
selected and you cannot change it. Depending on the selected technology, the appropriate settings are
available for configuration.
Navigation Path
Select Manage > Policy Objects, then select User Groups from the Object Type Selector. Right-click
inside the work area and select New Object or right-click a row and select Edit Object.
Tip You can also access this dialog box from the Remote Access VPN > IPSec VPN > User Groups or the
Remote Access VPN > SSL VPN policies.
