Chapter 74 Configuring Clientless SSL VPN
Configuring Remote Systems to Use Clientless SSL VPN Features
• You must have a URL for clientless SSL VPN. The URL must be an https address in the following
form: https://address, where address is the IP address or DNS hostname of an interface of the ASA
(or load balancing cluster) on which SSL VPN is enabled. For example, https://cisco.example.com.
• You must have a clientless SSL VPN username and password.
Restrictions
• Clientless SSL VPN supports local printing, but it does not support printing through the VPN to a
printer on the corporate network.
Using the Clientless SSL VPN Floating Toolbar
A floating toolbar is available to simplify the use of clientless SSL VPN. The toolbar lets you enter
URLs, browse file locations, and choose preconfigured web connections without interfering with the
main browser window.
The floating toolbar represents the current clientless SSL VPN session. If you click the Close button, the
ASA prompts you to confirm that you want to close the clientless SSL VPN session.
Tip To paste text into a text field, use Ctrl-V. (Right-clicking is disabled on the toolbar displayed
during the clientless SSL VPN session.)
Restrictions
If you configure your browser to block popups, the floating toolbar cannot display.
Browsing the Web
Using clientless SSL VPN does not ensure that communication with every site is secure. See
Communicating Security Tips .
The look and feel of web browsing with clientless SSL VPN might be different from what users are
accustomed to. For example:
• The title bar for clientless SSL VPN appears above each web page.
• You access websites by:
– Entering the URL in the Enter Web Address field on the clientless SSL VPN Home page
– Clicking on a preconfigured website link on the clientless SSL VPN Home page
– Clicking a link on a webpage accessed via one of the previous two methods
Also, depending on how you configured a particular account, it might be that:
• Some websites are blocked
• Only the websites that appear as links on the clientless SSL VPN Home page are available
Prerequisites
• You need the username and password for protected websites.
