Scenario 6 — Deploying SSL VPN for Tele-workers to Access Company Resources (USG 50
only)

6.1 Application Scenario

Tele-workers who work out of the office sometimes need to access company resources by a secured way. While building an IPSec tunnel to the company
gateway is an option, the Windows VPN client configuration is too complicated, and for an easier way to configure IPSec VPN, it requires installation of
additional IPSec VPN client software. The USG ZyWALL provides an SSL VPN function, which enables teleworkers to access company resources through a
secured VPN tunnel with little effort. All they need on their PC is a browser. Besides, in SSL VPN, the network administrator can define different access rules to
allow different users to access different company resources.
For example, the network administrator can set up an SSL VPN rule to allow administrator Tom remotely control company servers by RDP or VNC through SSL
VPN tunnel. He can also set up an SSL VPN Full tunnel rule to allow sales Chris to remotely access company file-share resources to conduct his important daily
job.
NOTE: USG 50 supports RDP, VNC, WEB link application and SSL VPN full tunnel, but doesn't support SSL VPN file-share and OWA applications so far. If the
remote clients want to use file-share and OWA through SSL VPN, they can use SSL VPN full tunnel mode (Security Extender) as a workaround.
