Kerio Clientless SSL-VPN

Kerio Clientless SSL-VPN(thereinafter SSL-VPN”) is a special interface used for secured remote access to shared items (files and folders) in the network protected by WinRoute via a web browser.

To a certain extent, the SSL-VPNinterface is an alternative to Kerio VPN Client (see chap- ter 21). Its main benefit is that it enables an immediate access to a remote network from any location without any special application having been installed and any configuration having been performed (that’s the reason for calling it clientless). The main disadvan- tage of this alternative is that network connections are not transparent. SSL-VPNis, in a manner, an alternative to the My Network Places system tool ) — it does not enable access to web servers or other services in a—remote network.

SSL-VPNis suitable for an immediate access to shared files in remote networks in such environments where it is not possible or useful to use Kerio VPN Client.

22.1 Configuration of WinRoute’s SSL-VPN

Usage of SSL-VPNis conditioned by membership of the WinRoute host in the corre- sponding domain (Windows NT or Active Directory). User accounts that will be used for connections to SSL-VPNmust be authenticated at the domain (it is not possible to use local authentication). This implies that SSL-VPNcannot be used for accessing shared items in multiple domains or to items at hosts which are not members of any domain.

SSL-VPN configuration

The SSL-VPNinterface can be enabled/disabled on the Web Interface SSL-VPNin the Configuration Advanced Options section.
