CONFIGURATION
12 Remote users connections
12.1 Principles
A remote user connection is a tunnel set between a remote PC and a
router providing the RAS function (Remote Access Service),
like the SIG.
A remote user connection provides security and simplicity advantages :
•
The remote user is identified with a login in and password or eventually
a certificate.
•
The data is encrypted (TLS or L2TP).
•
An IP address belonging to the local network is automatically assigned
to the remote user’s PC.
The SIG manages PPTP and TLS or L2TP remote connections.
Only one type can be selected. It will apply to all the remote users
connections.
A PPTP is the simplest type of remote user connection; data is not
encrypted.
The remote user can be identified only with a login and password.
A TLS connection provides encryption; moreover; the remote user can be
identified with a log in and password and with a certificate if necessary.
