SSL VPN Realms with Custom URLs

SSL VPN Realms with Custom URLs

Had a friend write up a great article on using custom URLs for realms on the Fortigate using SSL VPNs.

Use Case: 

You have contractors and employees.  You could have a realm for the contractors:

contractors.infosecmonkey.com

And then have the employees  have a second realm:

employees.infosecmonkey.com

This allows you to set different configurations such as authentication method.  You could then hand out the respective URL to the contractors and employees.

Thanks Matt Sherif for another great article.
