Overview/Description
Most enterprises need scalable authentication schemes, in which the network devices offload the authentication process to back-end user databases such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), TACACS+, or RADIUS. In clientless Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPNs, public key infrastructure (PKI) offers a scalable and secure authentication method. This course discusses the various authentication approaches that you should evaluate when designing a clientless SSL VPN solution, including the option of combining multiple authentications in a single process. This lesson also shows you how to provide a user-friendly authentication strategy by requiring only a single sign-on (SSO) when accessing various resources. Many enterprises want to customize the user interface that is presented to clientless Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN clients. Typical needs include language localization, which ensures that users navigate through pages that are written in their own language. This course discusses basic and advanced customization of portal navigation pages, help pages, and application integration. The course also explains how to implement language localization and describes the integration options that are available with the Cisco AnyConnect Client.
