22.1.1 What You Need to Know About the SSL User Screens

The ZyWALL can use SSL VPN to provide secure connections to network resources such as applications, files, intranet sites or e-mail through a web-based interface and using Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA).

Network Resource Access Methods

As a remote user, you can access resources on the local network using one of the following methods.

•Using a supported web browser

Once you have successfully logged in through the ZyWALL, you can access any intranet site, web-based applications or web-based e-mails using one of the supported web browsers.

•Using the SecuExtender Java thin client

The ZyWALL automatically loads a Java thin client program to your computer after a successful login. With the thin client, you can access servers, remote desktops and manage files as if you were on the local network.

•Windows 2000 and Windows XP
