Overview of SSL VPN

novdocx (en) 16 April 2010

Overview of SSL VPN

The Novell Access Manager SSL VPN allows you to use a Web browser to access corporate

resources securely from a remote site. It uses a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) with a virtual private

connection (VPN). It is a clientless solution, and it eliminates the need to install or configure a VPN

client on your desktop or laptop. This gives you the flexibility to access the corporate resources from

a laptop, a home computer, or a Web browsing kiosk.

When you access the SSL VPN server through a Web browser, a Java applet or an ActiveX control is

installed on your machine after the successful connection. This encrypts the traffic passing through

the tunnel and sends it to the SSL VPN server.

This section describes the following features of SSL VPN:

Section 1.1, “Access Modes,” on page 9

Section 1.2, “Client Machine Requirements,” on page 10

1.1 Access Modes

The Novell SSL VPN uses both clientless and thin-client access methods. The clientless method is

called the Kiosk mode SSL VPN and the thin-client method is called the Enterprise mode SSL VPN.

Section 1.1.1, “Kiosk Mode,” on page 9

Section 1.1.2, “Enterprise Mode,” on page 10

1.1.1 Kiosk Mode

Kiosk mode is the usual choice for computers not controlled by the organization, such as home

computers and computers in Web-browsing kiosks. When you connect to SSL VPN in Kiosk mode,

only a limited set of applications are enabled for SSL.

Applications that were opened before the SSL VPN connection was established are not enabled for

SSL. You must manually enable the applications that were opened before the SSL VPN connection.

For more information, see Section 5.5, “Enabling Applications for SSL,” on page 29.

You are connected to SSL VPN in Kiosk mode if:

You do not have administrator rights or

root

privileges to the workstation, and you do not

know the credentials of the administrator or

root

user of the machine.

You have administrator rights or

root

privileges to the workstation, but you are required by the

system administrator to connect in Kiosk mode only.

For more information on using the Kiosk mode, see Chapter 2, “Accessing SSL VPN in Kiosk

Mode,” on page 13.

novdocx (en) 16 April 2010

1.1.2 Enterprise Mode

The Enterprise mode is the usual choice for computers that are controlled by the organization, such

as notebooks provided by the organization for employees.When you connect to SSL VPN in

Enterprise mode, all applications are enabled for SSL, regardless of whether they were opened

before or after connecting to the SSL VPN. This includes your desktop applications and toolbar

applications.

You are connected to SSL VPN in Enterprise mode if:

You are the administrator or

root

user of a workstation, if the system administrator has not

required you to connect in Kiosk mode only.

You are not the administrator or

root

user of a workstation, but you know the credentials of

the administrator or

root

user.

If someone with administrator access has preinstalled the SSL VPN thin-client components on

your machine, you can connect to SSL VPN in Enterprise mode. For more information on

preinstalling the thin-client components, see “Preinstalling the SSL VPN Client Components”

in the Novell Access Manager 3.1 SP2 SSL VPN Server GuideNovell Access Manager 3.1 SP2

SSL VPN Server Guide.

For more information on using Enterprise mode, see Chapter 3, “Accessing SSL VPN in Enterprise

Mode,” on page 17.

1.2 Client Machine Requirements

This section explains the operating software and browser requirements for the client machine, in

order to access the SSL VPN user portal.

Section 1.2.1, “Linux Requirements,” on page 10

Section 1.2.2, “Macintosh Requirements,” on page 11

Section 1.2.3, “Windows Requirements,” on page 11

1.2.1 Linux Requirements

When you access the SSL VPN user portal in the Linux a Java applet is downloaded to the client

machine. The following table lists the supported versions of operating software and browsers for the

Linux environment:

Table 1-1 Supported Linux Configurations
