Overview/Description
Clientless Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN solutions provide browser-based access to resources behind the Cisco ASA adaptive security appliance. With clientless SSL VPNs, users can access resources without any special client software. Web-based applications, Common Internet File System (CIFS) file shares, and FTP servers can also be accessed by users when using clientless SSL VPNs. And with application plug-ins, port forwarding, and Smart tunnels, users can access almost any application that uses static TCP ports. This course describes deployment of the basic clientless SSL VPN including how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot a basic clientless SSL VPN solutions. Many enterprise applications are not web-based and use other standard or proprietary protocols to communicate over IP networks. Therefore, clientless Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN gateways must provide some alternative possibilities for users to access these application resources. This course discusses the application plug-ins and smart-tunnel features of the Cisco ASA adaptive security appliance SSL VPN gateway. These features provide clientless access to a wide range of thin- and thick-client applications. In this course how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot these access features are described.
