Re: Deploying SSL-based VPNs

["Alice Bryson" <abryson () bytefocus com>]

I think whether SSL VPN need a so called client or not is depend on
the implementation. One could setup a tunnel via https, which not need
java applet or activeX. After tunnel established, you reached the
control panel of SSL VPN, java applet or activeX works at here. SSL
Vendor could also not use java applet or activeX at all, just a web
page, i think.
