Let me start by saying I'm a newbie at security and CP in particular. I have inherited several firewalls. No support contract and no training.

I am trying to add an new admin so he can use SmartDashboard. I was added as an admin by our former security admin under R55. It was upgraded to R60 prior to his moving on.

Under R55, he ran cpconfig, added me as an admin (login, pwd), added my login to /etc/ssh/securid_users, ran useradd, added my login to passwd and groups and made a directory for my login.

I did this for the new guy and then ran cpconfig and saw I cannot add an admin this way under R60 - I should use SmartDashboard. Seems straightforward but I have a question:

1. I can only use SmartDashboard myself while VPN'd with a SC static NAT. A rule allows me to connect to our VPN FW with this and then I can login to either of our management servers. If I define admin access in SmartDashboard for the new guy from 'any' do I need to also setup a static NAT for him?

I'm confused by this so I apologize if my question is a bit fuzzy.
