SSL VPN Feature
Clientless, browser-based SSL VPN lets users establish a secure, remote-access VPN tunnel to the
security appliance using a web browser. After authentication, users access a portal page and can access
specific, supported internal resources. The network administrator provides access to resources by users
on a group basis. Users have no direct access to resources on the internal network.
The Cisco AnyConnect VPN client provides secure SSL connections to the security appliance for remote
users with full VPN tunneling to corporate resouces. Without a previously-installed client, remote users
enter the IP address in their browser of an interface configured to accept clientless SSL VPN
connections. The security appliance downloads the client that matches the operating system of the
remote computer. After downloading, the client installs and configures itself, establishes a secure SSL
connection and either remains or uninstalls itself (depending on the security appliance configuration)
when the connection terminates. In the case of a previously installed client, when the user authenticates,
the security appliance examines the revision of the client, and upgrades the client as necessary.
