•

New Features
The following features are introduced in the SonicWALL SSL-VPN 2000/4000 2.1 release:
•
File Shares Java Applet
—The File Shares Java Applet is a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) Web
browser plug-in for remote users that provides improved navigation when using File Shares to
access to shared network resources. Using the File Shares Java Applet, files and folders can be
moved by drag-and-drop and multiple files and folders can be transferred with a single command.
From the SSL-VPN portal, select HTML or Java File Shares application to launch by default.
•
LDAP Multiple Organizational Unit (OU) support
—Provides LDAP authentication capability for
multiple organizational units (OUs) using multiple base distinguished names (baseDNs), including
authentication of LDAP accounts in nested sub-OUs without additional configuration. Additionally,
users can login as an LDAP user with a common name (CN) or user ID (UID), rather than a DN.
•
Active Directory (AD) Group support
—Provides access control based on existing AD group
memberships. If a SonicWALL SSL-VPN group has one or more AD groups associated with it,
only users from the associated AD groups will have access to that SSL-VPN group. SonicWALL
SSL-VPN groups that are not associated with AD group(s) can be accessed by any user from the
AD domain. By creating an “SSL-VPN User” group on the AD server and configuring the
SonicWALL SSL-VPN to only accept members from that group, administrators can effectively
limit SSL-VPN logins to specific AD users.
•
RADIUS Filter-ID Group support
—Provides access control based on existing RADIUS group
memberships using the RADIUS Filter-ID attribute. If a SonicWALL SSL-VPN group has one or
more RADIUS groups associated with it, only users from the associated RADIUS groups will have
access to the SonicWALL group. SonicWALL SSL-VPN groups that are not associated with
RADIUS groups can be accessed by any user from the RADIUS domain.
