VPN
The VPN feature supports remote access to intranet or extranet resources
(applications, mail, files, intranet web pages) through a secure connection.
What information should be accessible to the remote user after login is
determined by access rules (ACLs).
The intranet’s resources can be accessed in clientless mode, transparent
mode or both:
•
From any computer connected to the Internet (clientless mode). The
remote user connects to the VPN Gateway through a secure SSL
connection through the web browser. When successfully authenticated,
the user can access services and resources on the intranet from a
Web Portal provided by the VPN Gateway. Clientless mode also
enables download of the Net Direct client, a simple and secure method
for accessing intranet resources through the remote user’s native
applications.
•
From a computer with the Nortel IPsec VPN client (formerly Contivity
VPN client) or the Nortel SSL VPN client installed (transparent mode).
For examples on how to configure the VPN Gateway for VPN deployment,
see the Application Guide for VPN.
