22.1.1 What You Need to Know

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 intranet sites, web- based applications, or web-based e-mails using one of the supported web browsers.

•Using the ZyWALL SecuExtender client

Once you have successfully logged into the ZyWALL, if the SSL VPN access policy has network extension enabled the ZyWALL automatically loads the ZyWALL SecuExtender client program to your computer. With the ZyWALL SecuExtender, you can access network resources, remote desktops and manage files as if you were on the local network. See Chapter 23 on page 341 for more on the ZyWALL SecuExtender.

•Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit), Vista (32 or 64-bit), 2003 (32-bit), XP (32-bit), or 2000 (32-bit)
