1. NetMAX OpenVPN Available

NetMAX has released a build of OpenVPN for NetMAX VPN Server Suite. Please note that this an .iso file, and you will need to burn it to CD before installing. Download it at:

ftp.cybernet.com/.../NM_Open_VPN.iso

2. Executing Multi-Group CGI Scripts

If you are trying to create two different secure sites for one URL, then you may need to execute multi-group CGI scripts. An example of this: a first password will get that user into one site (index.html), and a second password will get the user into another secure site (indexsec.html) -- i.e., there is information on the management site that we do not want the second group of users to have access to.

To set this up, do the following:

1. Users/Groups/Create

a. Add the two user groups that you want to access the different index.html file.

b. Make a New Group (named whatever you prefer) that will define both user groups.

2. Upload the index.cgi file to /System/Web/external or internal (as appropriate for your task).

3. Open the index.cgi file and edit the following:

#!/usr/bin/perl
# Configuration settings.

$group1 = "Group1";
-- Change to group name that you want to access index.html1 --

$group2 = "Group2";
-- Change to group name that you want to access index.html2 --

$url1 = "index1.html";
-- Change to index.html1 that you want Group1 to access --

$url2 = "index2.html";
-- Change to index.html2 that you want Group2 to access --

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" ;
print <<EOF ;
<html>
<head><title>Redirect Page</title></head>
<body>
EOF
$_=`/usr/bin/groups $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'}`;
if (/$group1/) {
print "<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=\"0; URL=$url1\">\n"; } elsif (/$group2/) {
print "<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=\"0; URL=$url2\">\n"; } else {
print "Internal error. The authorized group must contain all members of $group1 and $group2.\n";
}
print <<EOF ;
</body>
</html>
EOF

And that's it! If you have questions about the procedure, visit NetMAX Support:
