group-policy EGRASUSER attributes

wins-server value xxxxxxxxxxx

dns-server value xxxxxxxxx

split-tunnel-policy tunnelspecified

split-tunnel-network-list value sptnl

default-domain value xxxxxxxx

tunnel-group EGRASUSER type ipsec-ra

tunnel-group EGRASUSER general-attributes

address-pool EGRASPOOL

default-group-policy EGRASUSER

tunnel-group EGRASUSER ipsec-attributes

pre-shared-key *

class-map inspection_default

match default-inspection-traffic

policy-map type inspect dns preset_dns_map

parameters

message-length maximum 512

policy-map global_policy

Daniel,

Be default if you do not specific ANY config in the profile "EGRASUSER" then the device will apply any "default" configuration from the "DfltGrpPolicy" attirbutes.

So if you do not want any user auth the config the below:-

group-policy EGRASUSER attributes

authentication-server-group none

The above means you will only auth on IKE. My advise would be NOT to do this, as you only have 1 factor authentication - security best practise says you should have 2 or more.

If you do not want to authenticate to a back AD/RADIUS or LDAP - then authenticate locally:-

username <> password <> privilege 0

tunnel-group EGRASUSER general-attributes

authentication-server-group LOCAL
