I have a question about the your VPNs.  Why so many roles?

I can see maybe ten but 100, 300?  That seems to me to be a lot of roles to care and feed.

With our SA6000s we create roles to protected resources based on LDAP groups and currently have over 300 roles. We 
are now implementing the Pulse Client for this so that iOS and other platforms can use it to access protected 
resources.

I'll echo what Steven said: Pulse for us (at least on iOS) seems to work just fine to provide Network Connect 
functionality on those devices.  We're still on 6.5 software now (just over 100 roles here), but we are planning on 
upgrading to 7.1 in the next few weeks.
