Supporting Secure Access Client
To enable users to connect to and use the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway, you need to provide them with the 
following information:
• Firebox SSL VPN Gateway Web address, such as https://AccessGatewayFQDN
If a user needs access from a computer that is not running Windows 2000 or above or Linux, but is 
running a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) 1.4.2 or higher, the user can use the Java applet version of 
the kiosk. The Web address for connecting to the Java applet version of the kiosk is:
 
https://AccessGateway/vpn_portal-javaonly.html
• The authentication realm name required for logon (if you use realms other than the realm named 
Default). 
• Path to any network drives that the users can access, which is done by mapping a network drive 
on their computer.
• Any system requirements for running the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway Clients if you configured end 
point resources and policies.
Depending on the configuration of a remote user’s system, you might also need to provide additional 
information: 
• To start the Secure Access ClientWindows 2000 users must be an administrator to install 
programs on their computer. This restriction applies to Windows XP for first-time installation only, 
not for upgrades.
• If a user runs a firewall on the remote computer, the user might need to change the firewall 
settings so that it does not block traffic to or from the IP addresses to which you granted access. 
The Secure Access Client automatically handles Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP and 
Windows Firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2. For information about configuring a variety of 
popular firewalls, see “Using Firewalls with Firebox SSL VPN Gateway” on page 149.
• Users who want to FTP over the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway connection must set their FTP 
application to perform passive transfers. A passive transfer means that the remote computer 
establishes the data connection to your FTP server, rather than your FTP server establishing the 
data connection to the remote computer.
• Users who want to run X client applications across the connection must run an X server, such as 
XManager, on their computer. 
Because users work with files and applications just as if they were local to the organization’s network, no 
retraining of users or configuration of applications is needed.
