This chapter describes how to configure the adaptive security appliance so that

Client.

With an SSL VPN client setup, remote users do not need to install a software
client before attempting to establish a connection. Instead, remote users enter the
IP address or DNS name of a Cisco SSL VPN interface in their browser. The
browser connects to that interface and displays the SSL VPN login screen. If the
user successfully authenticates and the adaptive security appliance identifies the
user as requiring the client, it pushes the client that matches the operating system
of the remote computer.
