About Mobile VPN with SSL

SSL VPN Advanced tab

Authentication
From the Authentication drop-down list, select the authentication algorithm to use.
Encryption
From the Encryption drop-down list, select the encryption algorithm to use.
Protocol and Port
By default, SSL traffic uses the TCP protocol on port 443. Most users do not change this setting. You
must configure Mobile VPN with SSL to use a different port and protocol if you have a firewall policy
that allows incoming HTTPS. The Edge cannot apply static NAT to allow incoming HTTPS and allow
Mobile VPN with SSL connections on the same port.
Keep Alive
The Keep Alive interval controls how often the Edge sends traffic through the tunnel to keep the
tunnel active when no other traffic is being sent through the tunnel. If no response is received before
the timeout value the tunnel will be dropped.
DNS and WINS Servers
The Domain Name Service (DNS) changes host names into IP addresses. WINS changes NetBIOS
names to IP addresses. By default, SSL VPN users that connect to the Edge use the WINS and DNS
servers identified on the Network > Trusted page of your Edge configuration. If you want to specify
a different WINS or DNS server, add it in the DNS Server and WINS Server IP Address text boxes near
the bottom of the Mobile User page.
If your DNS provider requires it, specify a search name for your domain.
Enable debug logging
Select this check box to increase the verbosity of log messages for Mobile VPN with SSL. This is useful
if you have a problem that you must troubleshoot.
