RE: Deploying SSL-based VPNs

An SSL vpn is better suited to single (or small number of) application
rather than a whole remote access solution.

Ie access to an internal application for remote workers.

hi, there
    IMHO, i think ssl vpn is used by individual pc to gateway while
ipsec vpn is used by gateway to gateway situation. ipsec vpn need a
client application which not suitable for a mobile pc or net bar pc.
ssl vpn donot need install client application.

Hi all

I'm currently interested in SSL-VPN solutions, problems and
deployments. Personally I prefere much more the term "SSL-based remote
access" since almost all those products (except OpenVPN) claiming to
be SSL-VPNs don't offer any network functionality. Would you guys
share your experiences?

What are the issues you spotted when deploying SSL-based remote access
solutions?

Any experiences with certain products? (my company for example made
bad experiences with iGate from SafeNet)

What features make an SSL-remote access solution a good one?

I know these are some very general questions.

Thanks anyway
Joe
