SSL Conection

Hi All,

I was trying to set up a VPN tunnel from my location to another
location using a Sonicwall appliance. Thanks to Phillip Wendell I was
able to accomplish that, but could not get it to work Then the IT
person on the other side says they are not using IPSec Protocol, that
the VPN is using SSL only.

For now the Rule I set up was to Allow All Outbound Traffic From
Internal and Remote VPN, To Internal and Remote VPN , All Users

The problem is the 2 users requiring the VPN connection to their other
location must disable their Firewall Client once the VPN has been
established in order to use the Remote Desktop to get into their
remote workstations.

Is there a rule or Network Object that can be created that uses the
SSL only? Or, what in their firewall client is preventing to remote
desktop connection?

This is what their IT people said when I asked them about IPSec
certificate or pre-shared key
:
" The client VPN connection is an SSL Client VPN connection,
established by logging into the SSL VPN web portal page, using only
SSL (port 443). It does not use IPSec or any other protocols besides
TCP port 443. Authentication is accomplished via username and
password authentication, which can be stored locally on the SSL VPN
appliance, or integrated with Active Directory".

So can this be set up this way through ISA Server?

Thanks,

Linda
