Jun 23, 2008Hi,
I don't believe so. All resources presented by FirePass must first be authenticated (i believe with the exception of ActiveSync). You could always enable WebDAV and publish the content straight onto the FirePass (treat it like a web server) but this won't present an internal application externally like you would get with FirePass portal access.
Another option might be to have a link to the FirePass off your web page and have your webpage automatically POST the credentials to FirePass (so that your users don't have to enter them in). For example, on your web page you cold have a link saying "Retired Employees Click Here" and this page can have some code like:
method="POST" name="form1" action="https://your.firepass.name/my.activation.php3" target="_blank">
Obviously change your.firepass.name to what is your FirePass FQDN and setup an account like retireduser/retireduser and you should be away with a pretty sweet solution. If you wanted to add some icing to the cake you could setup a dedicated Master Group for this user and then use the Intranet WebTop feature of FirePass (Portal Access : Web Applications : Intranet WebTop) by enabling it just for this Master Group and then configuring it straight to the internal URL of your web app.
So when they click on the link off your page not only will it automatically log them into FirePass but it will automatically bring up the web app without first showing them the FirePass WebTop.
Hope this helps you.
