Qualified Web Browsers

To configure the VPN firewall, you need to use a web browser such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer 6 or later, Mozilla Firefox 3 or later, or Apple Safari 3 or later with JavaScript,
cookies, and SSL enabled.
Although these web browsers are qualified for use with the VPN firewall's web management
interface, SSL VPN users should choose a browser that supports JavaScript, Java, cookies,
SSL, and ActiveX to take advantage of the full suite of applications. Note that Java is required
only for the SSL VPN portal, not for the web management interface.

Log In to the VPN Firewall

To connect to the VPN firewall, your computer needs to be configured to obtain an IP address
automatically from the VPN firewall through DHCP.
