Ssl-Vpn Client Connection; Obtaining The Ssl-Vpn Client Bundle - Brocade Communications Systems 5600 Reference Manual

SSL-VPN client connection

Some Web browsers warn that downloaded Windows OS executable files are "not commonly
downloaded and could be dangerous." Those browsers often obtain the size and checksum of a file
and send that information to the servers of the browser vendors on the Internet to get information
about potential known malware. Because the installation wizard is generated on demand and is unique
and not known to any of the Web browser vendors, their systems warn the user about the SSL-VPN
client bundle for Windows OS as previously indicated.
The executable file for the installation wizard is not signed by the signing key for the publisher code
because the wizard is generated on demand on the Brocade vRouter. This generation causes a
warning message, which indicates that the publisher is unknown and not trusted, in certain browsers
when the end user is running the installation wizard on a Windows client machine.
FIGURE 8 Security warning message
The virtual network driver that is included is signed by the official Brocade Code Signing.
