Configuring General Portal Settings

There are two main options for configuring a portal:

  • Modify an existing layout
  • Configure a new portal

 

To configure the settings in the General section for a new portal

  1. Navigate to the Portals > Portals page.
  2. Click Add Portal or Configure next to the portal you want to configure. The Add Portal or Edit Portal screen displays.
  3. In the General section, enter a descriptive name for the portal in the Portal Name field. This name is part of the path of the Secure Mobile Access portal URL. For example, if your Secure Mobile Access portal is hosted at https://vpn.company.com, and you created a portal named “sales,” then you can access the sub-site at https://vpn.company.com/portal/sales.
  4. Enter the title for the Web browser window in the Portal Site Title field.
  5. To display a banner message to users before they log in to the portal, enter the banner title text in the Portal Banner Title field.
  6. Enter an HTML-compliant message or edit the default message in the Login Message field. This message is shown to users on the custom login page.
  7. To enable visibility of your custom logo, message, and title information on the login page, enable the option Display custom login page and select the check box Display login message on the custom login page.
  8. To replace the Domain list box displayed on the login page to a text box for the user to type the correct domain name, enable the option Hide Domain list on portal login page.
  9. To secure the SMA cookies using the HTTPonly flag, enable the option Enable HTTPonly for SMA cookies. some client-side web technologies such as Java applets don't have access to cookies marked 'HTTPOnly'. This can break access to the web application when using HTTP/HTTPS Bookmark or App Offloading Portal. Disable this option to restore compatibility for these web applications.
  10. Select Enable HTTP meta tags for cache control to apply HTTP meta tag cache control directives to the portal.
  11. Select Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for SMA to declare that web browsers (or other complying user agents) should only interact with the SMA server using secure HTTPS connections.
  12. Select the Show Product Name to be displayed.
