acces to a VPN from a web interface
----------
Hallo,
my boss asked me about a VPN to distribute some services, that now are accessible only inside the lan.
The boss asked for something that's new for me: he wants the we have to be able to connect VPN via a Web Interface and not a external software client.
Does someone know: how can I do?
Thanks
Alfredo Cosco (Italy)

WatchGuard SSL
----------
Hi Alfredo,

Have a look at Watchguards SSL product
(http://www.watchguar d.com/products/fb-ssl.asp ). It is a VPN gateway that functions in two ways. 1. You install a VPN client on a users system for them to connect to the appliance or 2. A user can go to a secured SSL webpage that is loaded on the appliance and it will load a "thin client" for them to connect to your network from any computer. You will be able to manage directly from the Watchguard how much access the user has and in real time be able to boot them off if necessary. The second method is called "Kiosk" mode. I had a demonstartion of the product and it is quite good.

There is also a nice tool for you as an admin that allows you to log in using Kiosk mode and load up remote desktop. You'll be able to gain access to any of your servers or systems running Remote desktop from anywhere with an internet connection. You can also assign a user permisions to use remote desktop to fro them to log into their own system or a system with the resources they will need. The only draw back with the kiosk mode is that it only allows a few people (if I remember it was a max of 4) to connect at the same time. Using the VPN client (not kiosk mode) that you install on a user's system will allow you to connect as many users you have a license for to connect to the watchguard VPN appliance.

I hope this helps.
