Installing the SSL VPN Concentrator
You are now ready to physically install your SSL VPN Concentrator using the following steps:
1. Turn off the power to the SSL VPN Concentrator and connect it to your network in your
chosen topology.
•
For a single arm topology, connect Ethernet Port 1 to your corporate network and leave
Ethernet Port 2 disconnected.
•
For a routing topology, connect Ethernet Port 1 to your public network and Ethernet Port 2
to your corporate network.
2. Turn on the power to the SSL VPN Concentrator.
3. From a PC on your corporate network, open a suitable browser and access the SSL VPN
Concentrator web management interface by typing https://<IP_address>, where IP_address
is the address that you assigned to the SSL312 Ethernet Port that is connected to the corporate
network.
Note: If the default portal (SSL-VPN) is changed to another user-defined portal, the
administration portal, SSL-VPN, can be reached by typing
https://<IP_address>/portal/SSL-VPN.
4. Log in as admin using the new password that you assigned. You can now continue the
configuration of your SSL VPN Concentrator.
Managing Certificates
Establishing an SSL connection requires that the SSL server, such as your SSL VPN Concentrator,
provide a digital SSL certificate to the user's browser. A certificate is a file that contains:
•
A public encryption key to be used for encrypting your messages to the server.
•
Information identifying the operator of the server.
•
A digital signature confirming the identity of the operator of the server.
