Description

This article describes how To switch between the admin login page or SSL-VPN web page when the same port is used for both.

Scope

Solution

Sometimes users will be using the same port for GUI login as well as for SSL VPN, in this case by default users will be prompted with an SSL VPN web page instead of a GUI page.

Let us discuss the method or steps to change the same.

From the below-mentioned screenshot I am using the same port 443 for both GUI login and also for the VPN.

Now when a user tries to login with the IP he will get a GUI admin page, check the below image.

# config vpn ssl setting
set port-precedence disable
end

After making the changes the behavior of the GUI is posted below.
