SonicWALL SSL VPN 5.0 Benutzerhandbuch

This chapter provides an overview of the SonicWALL SSL VPN user portal. It also includes an 
introduction to the SSL-VPN and its features and applications. This chapter contains the 
following sections:

SonicWALL SSL VPN Virtual Office provides secure remote access to network resources, such 
as applications, files, intranet Web sites, and email through Web access interface such as 
Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA). The underlying protocol used for these sessions is SSL.

With SSL VPN, mobile workers, telecommuters, partners, and customers can access 
information and applications on your intranet or extranet. What information should be 
accessible to the user is determined by access policies configured by the SonicWALL SSL VPN 
administrator.

Remote network resources can be accessed in the following ways:

Using a standard Web browser - To access network resources, you must log into the SSL 
VPN portal. Once authenticated, you may access intranet HTTP and HTTPS sites, 
offloaded portals, Web-based applications, and Web-based email. In addition, you may 
upload and download files using FTP or Windows Network File Sharing. All access is 
performed through a standard Web browser and does not require any client applications to 
be downloaded to remote users’ machines.

Using Java thin-client access to corporate desktops and applications – The 
SonicWALL SSL-VPN security appliance includes several Java or ActiveX thin-client 
programs that can be launched from within the SonicWALL SSL-VPN security appliance. 
Terminal Services and VNC Java clients allow remote users to access corporate servers 
and desktops, open files, edit and store data as if they were at the office. Terminal Services 
provides the ability to open individual applications and support remote sound and print 
services. In addition, users may access Telnet and SSH servers for SSH version 1 (SSHv1) 
and SSH version 2 (SSHv2), from the SSL VPN portal.
