Using the SSL VPN Portal
3-2 SSL VPN User’s Guide
3.1 Using Portal Tools
The Portal page has several built in tools to assist you in using the SSL VPN.
These tools include a ping interface for checking the accessibility of network
hosts, tips, online help, the SSL VPN file transfer utility, and the SSL VPN
themes utility.
These tools have been placed under the home, file transfer, and themes tabs
on the SSL VPN portal page.
3.1.1 Home
The tools under this tab help you navigate your way through the SSL VPN. This
page can be customized by the SSL VPN administrator by providing themes
that VPN users can apply for themselves. The individual tools are described
below
Ping Pane
The ping pane allows you to check the accessibility of other computers on your
intranet and on the Internet. This feature can help you troubleshoot connectiv-
ity issues if any, with your SSL VPN session in addition to determining avail-
ability of a server hosting a resource on the network.
Enter the IP address, host name, or domain name of the computer you wish to
ping and click the Ping button. The result of the ping query is displayed on this
pane.

Guide includes not only instructions on using the SSL VPN but also lists error
code explanations and provides other troubleshooting assistance.
Bookmarks Pane
The SSL VPN Portal allows you to create your own set of links to commonly
accessed resources. These bookmarks may be links to either intranet or Inter-
net Web sites or network accessible file systems on the intranet.
