Preparing the Avaya Security Gateway for the VPNremote Phone

VPNremote Phone users who login to the VPN through the Avaya security gateway must have

their user authentication configured on that security gateway. The user authentication

configuration allows VPN traffic to flow through the corporate firewalls to the security gateway.

VPN traffic is remote traffic that has traversed the VPN tunnel.

As a minimum, you must configure a user name and the password for each remote user. User

names can be up to 128 characters long and can contain any character except a comma (,).

Note that once you add a user name, you cannot change the name.

For additional information regarding configuring the security gateway for the VPNremote Phone,

see the Avaya Security Gateway Configuration Guide for VPNos 4.6.
