Adding new Service Packages

Question

How do I create my custom service packages that will be available in Delegated Administrator.

Answer 1

Hi,
Well there was a discussion here on the forums some time ago where a user wanted to create a special NAT rule.
In that situation the user had only 1 public IP address available that was naturally used for all LAN users when connecting to the Internet. But a remote site still wanted to limit the connections based on some information. The idea was to use the source port. Dynamic PAT naturally poses the problem that users will be always visible from the same public IP address and the source port is random even after the Dynamic PAT translation.
The user wanted to do Dynamic PAT and want the translated port to be from some certain range. We managed to build this special Dynamic PAT configuration and this made it possible for the remote site to allow connections only from this certain public IP address when the source port was from a certain range.
The above is a pretty extreme/special situation which I would imagine not many people would use or would even have to implement. But naturally in that specific case if you were the admin of the remote site firewall you could have created a Service Object with both the known source port range and the destionation port where they need to connect.
Hope this helps and made any sense
