SSL VPN

This chapter shows you how to set up secure SSL VPN access for remote user login.

18.1 SSL Access Policy

An SSL access policy allows the ZyWALL to perform the following tasks:

limit user access to specific applications or files on the network.

allow user access to specific networks.

assign private IP addresses and provide DNS/WINS server information to remote users to access internal networks.

18.1.1SSL Application Objects

SSL application objects specify an application type and server that users are allowed to access through an SSL tunnel. See Chapter 34 on page 266 for how to configure SSL application objects.

18.1.2 SSL Access Policy Limitations

You cannot delete an object that is used by an SSL access policy. To delete the object, you must first unassociate the object from the SSL access policy.
