Direct HTML5 remote acccess link

AlanMayer
In the past we've used Cisco firewalls that allowed us to create a unique link that prompts users for their username and password and directs them straight to the internal web site. So instead of configuring remote access for example.com, user logs into user portal and then connects to example.com a user instead would go to https://sophosutm.com/example, enter their credentials and immediately connects to example.com. Is this possible with the Sophos UTM?

    With HTML5-VPN: No.

    If it is about accessing a internal web site, you can do this with Webserver Protection and Reverse Authentication.

    You can have access to http and https content via the HTML5 portal, but these can only be accessed via the HTML5 in the user portal.

    FYI:  HTML5 between Cisco and UTM are night and day, but they were designed and implemented for different purposes.  

    On Cisco it is designed as an alternative primary means for external end users to access internal content, so scales well and has more features.  

    On the UTM, it is designed for occasional administrator usage or very low volume end user usage.  You'll find that after a maximum of 5 (depending on hardware) concurrent users, that HTML5 performance drops like a rock, because it wasn't made as a primary connection means for multiple external users.

    Thanks for the information. Is it possible to use Web Application Firewall with access control?

    Access Control in WAF is part of Site Path Routing.  You must be on 9.3x.
