Hi,

stupidly I’ve checked "Authenticate Client Certificates" option and now I’m not able to access WEB UI. How can I disable it from CLI (SSH is enabled and working)? Or there’s something else I can do? I’ve also a configuration file before this change was made.

Thank you

Kari

    Hi @kaika313,

    Here are the commands to disable "Authenticate Client Certificates".

    usgflex200h> edit running
    usgflex200h running config# vrf main http-server secure-server auth-client false
    usgflex200h running config# commit
    usgflex200h running config# copy running startup
    Overwrite startup configuration? [y/N] y

    Hi @Zyxel_Emily,

    thank you, this solved my problem.

    I have another issue regarding SSL VPN, there’s no way to make it work. I'm using a custom port because it doesn't allow me to use same HTTPS port. Strange thing is that if I download SSL VPN configuration and use it with OpenVPN it works. If I try tu use SecuExtender (4.0.4) it doesn't work giving me these errors:

    [ 2024/05/23 16:49:16 ][SecuExtender Agent][DETAIL] Connection ends.

    What I'm doing wrong?

    I remember when using the previous USG40 firewall that the same problem occurred but then I was able to use same HTTPS port even if different from standard 443 and it worked. Now, using different port for HTTPS and SSL VPN it won't. Why?

    Thank you

    you can't use SecuExtender SSL_VPN_Client_4.0.5.0 on H models their is
    IPSec_SSL_VPN_7.7.40.019(subscription_based) or

    Hi @kaika313,

    As PeterUK said, you need to use IPSec_SSL_VPN_7.7.40.019 (Windows) to establish SSL VPN to USG FLEX H.
