Kerio Clientless SSL-VPN
Kerio Clientless SSL-VPN
(thereinafter “
SSL-VPN
”) is a special interface used for secured remote
access to shared items (files and folders) in the network protected by
WinRoute
via a web
browser.
To a certain extent, the
SSL-VPN
interface is an alternative to
Kerio VPN Client
(see chapter
Its main benefit is that it enables an immediate access to a remote network from any location
without any special application having been installed and any configuration having been per-
formed (that’s the reason for calling it
clientless
). The main disadvantage of this alternative is
that network connections are not transparent.
SSL-VPN
is, in a manner, an alternative to the
My Network Places
system tool ) — it does not enable access to web servers or other services
in a—remote network.
SSL-VPN
is suitable for an immediate access to shared files in remote networks in such envi-
ronments where it is not possible or useful to use
Kerio VPN Client
.
24.1 Configuration of WinRoute’s SSL-VPN
Usage of
SSL-VPN
is conditioned by membership of the
WinRoute
host in the corresponding
domain (
Windows NT
or
Active Directory
). User accounts that will be used for connections to
SSL-VPN
must be authenticated at the domain (it is not possible to use local authentication).
This implies that
SSL-VPN
cannot be used for accessing shared items in multiple domains or
to items at hosts which are not members of any domain.
SSL-VPN configuration
The
SSL-VPN
interface can be enabled/disabled on the
Web Interface
→
SSL-VPN
in the
Config-
uration
→
Advanced Options
section.
