Features of the Barracuda SSL VPN
Barracuda Network Connector
Designed for applications using UDP or for providing full network access to a client, the Barracuda
Network Connector is a secure IP tunneling client installed on a user’s workstation or laptop. When
Network Connector is started, a full IP connection is created to the Barracuda SSL VPN appliance,
enabling content to stream off the remote network and allowing the use of any TCP or UDP
application, such as legacy client/server applications.
Intranet Web Forwarding
The Barracuda SSL VPN acts as a Web proxy for most intranet Web sites. There are a number of
methods available to proxy intranet Web sites. The choice is determined by the complexity of the Web
site.
Windows Explorer Mapped Drives
When connecting using Windows 2000 or later, administrators configure the Barracuda SSL VPN
Agent to automatically map network drives directly to file systems authorized for VPN access. These
mapped drives are used like other network drives and are safely removed after the session ends. The
Barracuda SSL VPN Agent transparently encrypts all files copied to and from mapped drives.
Single Sign-On
The Barracuda SSL VPN integrates with existing user databases via LDAP, Active Directory and
NIS. This ensures user account maintenance is centralized and eliminates the duplication of user data
across the organization. Additionally, the Barracuda SSL VPN authenticates certain services using
credentials, including:
•
Remote Desktop
. The Barracuda SSL VPN has the ability to pass the active users’ Active
Directory credentials through to the Remote Desktop session for true single sign-on.
•
Intranet Web Forwards
. When using the Reverse Proxy Web Forwarding feature, intranet Web
sites can be launched passing through the active users’ credentials to the Web application
allowing transparent authentication.
Application Launching
Using Application Launching, administrators can customize which applications are deployed to VPN
users. The Barracuda SSL VPN includes a number of applications by default, such as SSH/SFTP,
Telnet and Remote Desktop clients. With the Remote Desktop application, users are able to access
their desktops with ease.
