Configuring the AVG from the service agent PC
When you start the VPN Gateway the first time, you will enter the Setup menu. This menu contains the new CLI command. This is a CLI based, intuitive, initial configuration wizard for the AVG that provides default settings to quickly bring up SSL connections from IP Office. It is useful for initial configuration and testing. This is the fastest way to initially configure AVG. Subsequently, the Browser-Based Management Interface (BBI) can be used to make changes recommended for SSL VPN connectivity. For more information see User Guide Avaya VPN Gateway (NN46120-104).
After using the new command to run the Quick Setup Wizard, the following settings have been created:
A VPN. The VPN is typically defined for access to an intranet, parts of an intranet or to an extranet.
A virtual SSL server of the portal type. A portal IP address is assigned to it, to which the remote user should connect to access the Portal. If you chose to use the VPN feature without an Application Switch, the portal server is set to standalone mode.
A test certificate has been installed and mapped to the portal server.
The authentication method is set to Local database and you have one test user configured. The test user belongs to a group called trusted whose access rules allow access to all networks, services and paths.
One or several domain names are added to the DNS search list, which means that the remote user can enter a short name in the Portal's various address fields (for example, inside instead of inside.example.com if example.com is added to the search list).
If you chose to enable HTTP to HTTPS redirection, an additional server of the HTTP type was created to redirect requests made with HTTP to HTTPS, because the portal server requires an SSL connection.
A printout of example configuration settings from the Quick Setup log file is available at Appendix A AVG Quick Setup log file example.
