Adding Resources

The SonicWall appliance can manage a wide variety of corporate resources, which are described in Defining Resources section. For sample scenario, we will just define a few:

• A network share with marketing materials (intended for business partners and visible to employees).

• Access to Microsoft Outlook on the Web (intended solely for employees).

To define two corporate resources

1. In the AMC, navigate to Security Administration > Resources.

2. Click the + (New) icon, and select Network share.

3. Enter a name for the resource in the Name field. This is the only resource in our sample deployment to which partners will have access. Name it as VAR marketing collateral.

4. Using UNC syntax, enter the path for the resource in the Network share field. For example, \\company_xyz\var\marketing.

5. Select Create shortcut on WorkPlace so that a link to the resource will be visible to users.

6. Click Save. VAR marketing collateral is now added to your default resources.

7. Add a second resource:

   1. Click the + (New) icon.
   2. Select URL from the dropdown list.

8. In the Name field, enter Outlook Web Access. This resource is intended for employees only.

9. In the URL field, enter https://mail.company_xyz.com.

10. Select Create shortcut on WorkPlace.

11. Click Save.

    You should now see two new items in your resource list.

There are some built-in resources, to make setting up a WorkPlace portal easier; they cannot be deleted. The Used column indicates whether a resource is in use (as part of a WorkPlace shortcut or layout, for example). To see where a resource is used, expand its icon. A resource cannot be deleted until it is no longer used by other configuration elements.
