    edit "full-access"

        set tunnel-mode enable

        set ipv6-tunnel-mode enable

        set web-mode enable

        set ip-pools "SSLVPN_TUNNEL_ADDR1"

        set ipv6-pools "SSLVPN_TUNNEL_IPv6_ADDR1"

            config bookmark-group

                edit "gui-bookmarks"

                    config bookmarks

                        edit "rdptest"

                            set apptype rdp

                            set description "test"

                            set host "192.168.184.254"

                            set sso disable

                            set port 3389
