Sometimes we put the cart before the horse. My previous post was about adding a virtual host / custom FQDN to a FortiGate SSL VPN Realm. What some may not know is the use case for SSL VPN realms.
SSL VPN realms are a means of providing a customized experience for a particular group of users. Maybe you’re OK with your consultants seeing the default FortiOS login page, but for your remote users you want a more integrated feel with your organizational brand.
For this example we’ll show the default realm, as well as create a new realm named HQ.
Assumptions:
This has been tested on FortiOS 6.0.x and 6.2.x
SSL VPN Realms have been enabled in System > feature visibility
With that out of the way, let’s get to it!
By default when you browse to the SSL VPN login portal it will look like this:
We’re going to add a custom realm to this FortiGate so our HQ users get a different login screen:
Login to the fortigate and go to VPN > SSL-VPN Realms
Click on ‘Create new’
As you can see here you can customize the login page, I am not a web designer, so I am just going to change a few things with the current layout.
Browse to VPN > SSL-VPN Settings and create an authentication / portal mapping to the new realm
Now when we browse to https://uv-gate.ultraviolet.network/uv-hq we get the ‘custom page’:
And thats it! Now you can customize your SSL VPN portals and hopefully do a better job than I did! I hope this was helpful, thank you for reading!
