Aurorean Client Installation Kits

To reduce the challenges of remote access, Enterasys Networks designed Aurorean Client to be embedded with critical access information when it is first installed. Because this information is already present when the remote user tries to connect, the connection occurs quickly and with less chance of error. You are responsible for configuring this information to match your Aurorean Virtual Network requirements, building Aurorean Client installation kits that contain the customized information, and distributing these kits to your remote users.

You must build a Aurorean Client installation kit for each client group defined in the Aurorean Policy Server database. An Aurorean Client installation kit contains the following components:

HThe Aurorean Client application.

HPOP packages, which contain POP phone numbers for the ISPs you selected, as well as any direct dial-up corporate ISP phone numbers.

HA set of core files that contain the following:

–The policies assigned to that particular client group. These policies determine which Aurorean Client features and functions users can exercise.

–Destination IP address for the Aurorean Network Gateway you want members of that group to access.

–The Aurorean VPN name shared by the Network Gateway and Policy servers, and all Aurorean Client computers that connect to your network.

Figure 67 illustrates the contents of a Aurorean Client installation kit.

When you build your first Aurorean Client installation kit, you must perform a complete build. During the two-step build process, the Aurorean Policy Server first extracts POP phone numbers from the master TollSaver database to build a custom database for a POP package and its associated ISPs. If you are using several ISPs or an ISP with POPs nationwide, this POP package build may take a few hours to complete.

In the second step of the build process, a group kit which includes core files containing tunnel, destination, and configuration, is compiled. Compiling this build does not take as long.
