Overview of implementation

VPNremote Client software

VPNremote Client software is a communications application that runs on remote computers that use dialup, DSL and cable connection supplied by Internet Service Providers (ISP), to connect to the corporate VPN. When communicating with a VPN, the software seamlessly performs authentication and cryptography tasks. To install and use the software, an account with an ISP must first be created.

The software is installed on the remote user’s computer and then Client Configuration Download (CCD) can be used to configure the remote user’s Dyna-Policy™ for authentication to a specific VPN.

When remote users log in, they connect to the ISP and type in their user authentication information, if asked. Upon authentication, any traffic that uses the VPN is safely encrypted as it is transported through the public networks.

VPNmanager software

VPNmanager software lets network managers define, configure, manage VPN and firewall policies, upgrade firmware, and manage remote user access policies from a central location.

The VPNmanager software combines two components, the VPNmanager Console and the policy server.

●The VPNmanager console is a client that is used for configuring, managing, and monitoring one or more VPNs. The console is a Java application that can be run anywhere and is used as a front-end to the policy server and the directory server.

●The policy server distributes configuration and security policies. The VPNmanager console is a client that communicates with the policy server to retrieve security policies. The policy server then communicates with the directory server.

The VPNmanager Console and the directory server can reside on separate, dedicated servers within the network to provide better performance for updating and configuring large numbers of security gateways. You can use either an existing Sun One Server or Microsoft Active Directory Server to store the policies that are created.

VPNmanager software consists of different versions to meet the needs of various networks.

●VPNmanager Small Office. Use the small office version for managing up to five security gateways and unlimited VPNremote Clients.

●VPNmanager Enterprise. Use the VPNmanager Enterprise version for managing an unlimited number of devices and VPNremote Clients.

●VPNmanager Service Provider. Use this version to manage an unlimited number of devices and VPNremote Clients. The Service Provider also supports multiple VPN domains, which meets the needs of ISPs.
