Using the Login Name of the Currently Logged in User

Mobile Access Check Point Software Blade on a Security Gateway that provides a Remote Access VPN access for managed and unmanaged clients. Acronym: MAB. applications can be configured to differ depending on the user name of the currently logged-in user. For example, portal links can include the name of the user, and a file-share can include the user's home directory. For this purpose, the $$user directive is used. During a Mobile Access session, $$user resolves to the login name of the currently logged-in user.

For such personalized configurations, insert the $$user string into the relevant location in the definitions of Web applications, file shares, and native applications.

For example, a Web application URL that is defined as http://host/$$user appears for user aa as http://host/aa and for user bb as http://host/bb.

If the user authenticates with a certificate, $$user resolves during the user's login process to the user name that is extracted from the certificate and authorized by the directory server.

For its use in configuring File Shares, see the "Mobile Access Applications" section.
