457 Enabling remote access with clientless VPN
Identifying resources with URLs
Mail resources
Clientless VPN can control access to mail resources. These resources are configured and accessed in
rules using the following URL syntax:
The protocol is mail. The port is entered only if it is not the default IMAP port (143).
Note: Users typically do not enter their user name and password because this information can be
automatically inserted by clientless VPN.
The following table shows an example of a mail URL resource.
Using a Microsoft Outlook client
The security gateway supports connections to a Microsoft Exchange server using Microsoft Outlook
client.
Note: Using the Microsoft Outlook resource URL automatically launches the Microsoft Outlook client
when a session is active.
This feature allows users to connect to Microsoft Exchange servers behind the security gateway
without reconfiguring Microsoft Outlook. This resource uses the following URL syntax:
protocol://host name
The protocol is always outlook. The host name is the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the
host computer.
The following table shows an example of an Outlook resource.
