# Configure User Portal

User Portal is a functionality built into RAS Secure Gateway that allows users to connect to Parallels RAS and open published resources from a web browser using the Parallels Web Client. The client works similarly to a platform-specific Parallels Client, but does not require any additional software to be installed on users' computers or devices. All that users need is an HTML5-enabled web browser.

This section describes how to configure User Portal in the Parallels RAS Console. For the information about how to use it, please refer to the [**Parallels Web Client and User Portal**](/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/parallels-web-client-and-user-portal.md) chapter.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** To use Web Client and User Portal, SSL must be enabled on a RAS Secure Gateway. When enabling the client, please verify that SSL is enabled on the **SLL/TLS** tab or on your network load balancer. Please also note that the **User Portal** tab is only available if the gateway mode is set to "Normal". For more information, see [**Gateway mode and forwarding settings**](/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/ras-secure-gateway/configuring-a-ras-secure-gateway/gateway-mode-and-forwarding-settings.md).
{% endhint %}

To configure User Portal, click the **User Portal** tab in the RAS Secure Gateway properties dialog and then set the options described in the subsequent sections.

For the information on how to configure the Web Client URL and how to access the client from a web browser, please [**Web request load balancing**](/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/ras-secure-gateway/configuring-a-ras-secure-gateway/web-request-load-balancing.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/ras-secure-gateway/configuring-a-ras-secure-gateway/configure-user-portal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
