SSL VPN Wizard
SSL VPN Connection Type
Clientless, browser-based SSL VPN lets users establish a secure, remote-access VPN tunnel to the
adaptive security appliance using a web browser. After authentication, users access a portal page and can
access specific, supported internal resources. The network administrator provides access to resources by
users on a group basis. Users have no direct access to resources on the internal network.
The Cisco AnyConnect VPN client provides secure SSL connections to the adaptive security appliance
for remote users with full VPN tunneling to corporate resouces. Without a previously-installed client,
remote users enter the IP address in their browser of an interface configured to accept clientless SSL
VPN connections. The adaptive security appliance downloads the client that matches the operating
system of the remote computer. After downloading, the client installs and configures itself, establishes
a secure SSL connection and either remains or uninstalls itself (depending on the adaptive security
appliance configuration) when the connection terminates. In the case of a previously installed client,
when the user authenticates, the adaptive security appliance examines the revision of the client, and
upgrades the client as necessary.
