how to deploy ssl vpn in ngaf

Hi,

You can refer to this

or the documentation attached.

But this is not the latest NGAF version. But it is still the same more or less.

HiHi,

Please find below another NGAF V8.0.47 SSL VPN 2FA Authentication Configuration Guide for your reference.

https://knowledgebase.sangfor.com/detailPage?articleData=%7B%22articleType%22%3A1,%22articleId%22%3A%2213a63aa544f8442987252849e97e96d9%22,%22keyword%22%3A%22%22%7D

To deploy SSL VPN in Next-Generation Application Firewall (NGAF), you can follow these general steps:

1. Access the NGAF Web Interface: Log in to the NGAF firewall's web interface using your administrator credentials.

2. Navigate to SSL VPN Configuration: Once logged in, navigate to the SSL VPN configuration section within the NGAF interface. This is usually found under the VPN or Remote Access menu.

3. Configure SSL VPN: Set up the SSL VPN by defining the authentication methods, SSL VPN settings, user access policies, and any other necessary parameters. This might involve creating user accounts, defining address pools, setting up access control rules, and configuring VPN client settings.

4. Generate and Distribute SSL VPN Client Configuration: Generate the SSL VPN client configuration files that need to be distributed to end-users. This typically involves creating installation packages or providing download links for VPN client software that users will need to install on their devices.

5. Test and Verify: Once the SSL VPN is configured, perform thorough testing to ensure that users can successfully connect to the VPN and access internal resources securely. Verify that the SSL VPN is operating as intended.

6. Monitor and Maintain: After deployment, monitor the SSL VPN connections and overall system performance through NGAF's monitoring and logging features. Regularly update and maintain SSL VPN configurations to align with security best practices and evolving business requirements.

Please note that the specific steps for deploying SSL VPN in NGAF may vary based on the NGAF model and software version. It's recommended to refer to the official NGAF documentation or consult with a certified NGAF administrator for detailed deployment instructions tailored to your environment.

Please follow these steps in a precise manner:

1. Log in to the Sangfor NGAF web management console using your administrative credentials.
2. Navigate to the "VPN" menu and click on "SSL VPN" to access the SSL VPN configuration page.
3. Create a new SSL VPN profile by clicking the "Add" button. Specify a name for the profile and choose the desired authentication method, such as local user, Active Directory, RADIUS, or LDAP.
4. Configure user access policies by defining the IP address ranges or specific URLs that users can access through the SSL VPN connection.
5. Configure the SSL VPN portal by customizing the login page, branding, and language settings to match your organization's requirements. You can also enable two-factor authentication for added security.
6. Configure clientless access if needed.
7. If you want to provide clients with full tunnel access, generate and distribute SSL VPN client certificates to users.
8. Configure the SSL VPN tunnel settings, such as the SSL/TLS protocol version, cipher suites, and other security parameters.
9. Save the SSL VPN profile configuration and activate it on the NGAF device.
10. Test the SSL VPN connection by connecting to the NGAF device from a remote client using the appropriate client software or web browser.

You may try below:

1. Go to Security > User Management > Users and create user accounts for authorized SSL VPN access
2. Navigate to  SSL VPN > Options > General and configure login ports (ex: HTTPS port 443). you may also consider enabling WebAgent if required
3. Go to SSL VPN > Policy and click +Add to create new policy. Always define settings like user authentication (local user, RADIUS, etc), allowed resources, and access control rules
4. If SSL VPN users need to access specific internal resources, you may need to configure the below:
   - Under Firewall > NAT, you need to create rules to translate the source IP of SSL VPN users to internal network addresses
   - ensure proper routing rules are created to direct traffic from SSL VPN users to the destinations within the network.
5. Go to SSL VPN > Service then click Start to activate the SSL VPN service

Deploying SSL VPN on a Sangfor NGAF involves several configuration steps. It's crucial to follow the official Sangfor documentation for detailed instructions specific to your NGAF model and software version. However, I can provide a general overview of the process:

Prerequisites:

    Ensure you have a valid SSL VPN license activated on your Sangfor NGAF.
    Have the necessary administrative privileges to configure the device.

Steps:

    Deployment Mode:
        Access the Sangfor NGAF web interface and navigate to System > Network > Deployment.
        Choose the appropriate deployment mode for your network (e.g., Gateway mode for routing traffic).

    Network Configuration:
        Configure external and internal interfaces based on your network layout.
        Create a SNAT rule to enable the NGAF to access the internet on behalf of LAN users and server (if necessary).

    SSL VPN Server Configuration:
        Navigate to System > SSL VPN Options > General > Login.
        Configure login ports, WebAgent settings, and other general options.

    User and Resource Management:
        Create SSL VPN users with appropriate authentication methods (e.g., local user, RADIUS).
        Define resources that users can access through the VPN (e.g., specific IP addresses, subnets).

    Policy Set and Access Control:
        Create policy sets to define access rules for different user groups or resources.
        Configure remote server settings if connecting to external resources through the VPN.

    Endpoint Security (Optional):
        Configure endpoint security settings to enforce security policies on user devices connecting through the VPN (e.g., antivirus, anti-malware).

    Client Download and Configuration:
        Download and install the SSL VPN client on user devices.
        Configure the client with the NGAF server address, login credentials, and other relevant settings.

3. In Local User, setup webagent using public ip (port 4009) with shared key
4. Create local user to use Sangfor VPN with username and password


Branch

1. Enable VPN Service
2. Add VPN Path
3. In Local Connection, create new connection using the webagent and local user credential created.

To deploy SSL VPN in Sangfor Next-Generation Application Firewall (NGAF), start by accessing the NGAF management console and navigating to the VPN configuration section. Configure SSL VPN settings, including authentication methods, user access policies, and SSL encryption parameters. Generate SSL certificates for secure communication between the VPN client and the NGAF appliance. Set up user accounts and permissions for VPN access, ensuring proper authentication and authorization measures are in place. In the end, distribute VPN client software to end-users and provide them with instructions for connecting to the SSL VPN using their credentials. Also monitor VPN traffic and security logs to detect and respond to any potential threats or anomalies in the SSL VPN deployment.
