been closed (parent affinity), or you can right click the notification icon in the system tray and
confirm log out.
Tunnel Policy—An administrator can dictate which connections go through the VPN gateway
and which do not. An end user can browse the Internet directly while accessing company
internal resources with smart tunnel if the administrator chooses.
Simplified configuration of which applications to tunnel—When a smart tunnel is required, a
user no longer needs to configure a list of processes that can access smart tunnel and in turn
access certain web pages. An "enable smart tunnel" check box for either a bookmark or
standalone application allows for an easier configuration process.
Group policy home page—Using a check box in ASDM, administrators can now specify their
home page in group policy in order to connect via smart tunnel.

Release 8.3(1) provides browser-based (clientless) VPN access from the following newly
supported platforms:
Windows 7 x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) via Internet Explorer 8.x and Firefox 3.x
•
Windows Vista x64 via Internet Explorer 7.x/8.x, or Firefox 3.x.
•
Windows XP x64 via Internet Explorer 6.x/7.x/8.x and Firefox 3.x
•
Mac OS 10.6.x 32- and 64-bit via Safari 4.x and Firefox 3.x.
•
Firefox 2.x is likely to work, although we no longer test it.
Release 8.3(1) introduces browser-based support for 64-bit applications on Mac OS 10.5.
Release 8.3(1) now supports smart tunnel access on all 32-bit and 64-bit Windows OSs
supported for browser-based VPN access, Mac OS 10.5 running on an Intel processor only, and
Mac OS 10.6.x. The adaptive security appliance does not support port forwarding on 64-bit
OSs.
Browser-based VPN access does not support Windows Shares (CIFS) Web Folders on
Windows 7, Vista, and Internet Explorer 8. An ActiveX version of the RDP plug-in is
unavailable for 64-bit browsers.
Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4 are no longer supported for browser-based access.
