Migrate SSL VPN users to new UTM (new public IP and new hostname)

Papi-Sanchez

We use SSL VPN for our user. Now we have bought a new UTM and would like to use SSL VPN for all users in the future via the new machine. The new UTM has a new public IP and a different host name.
This means that we all have to migrate VPN users from the old to the new UTM.
Question: Is there a way to export all users in the old UTM and import them into the new UTM? Or does it have to be done manually, user for user? With several hundred users, this is a mammoth task.
What is the best way to do this?

Thank you.

    Hello Papi,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community!

    Unfortunately, this is not possible, what you could try to do if you haven't configured many things in the new UTM, is to do a backup on the old UTM and import it to the new UTM, and then just modify what you need in the new UTM.

    Not sure how many users you are talking about but maybe using AD or LDAP would be a good tool for managing a large number of users, so that the UTM can query this.

    Hallo Papi-Sanchez,

    Why not just do a backup of the old unit and restore it to the new unit and then replace the old unit with it?  If you change the host name, you have to change everything like certificates, SSL VPN configs, etc.

    Cheers - Bob

    Thank you very much for the information.
    I almost suspected that this is not possible. Unfortunately, many RED connections are already connected to the new UTM. So I can no longer restore a backup from the old UTM there.
    This leaves me with the tedious way to manually create all VPN users on the new UTM. A very unpleasant way.
    But thanks again for the feedback.
