Anyone using the SSL/VPN features? 3

[snootalope]

We're going to be leaving our PIX 515 and going with the ASA 5510 with the SSL/VPN feature.

From what I'm reading from the admin/install guides, it says the feature is entirely clientless.. anyone know if this is true? No activeX to install, no extra java stuff, entirely clientless..

How's it's speed? Our home users will be using this feature to access our internal Terminal Servers.

From what I can tell, all they (the external clients) need is a trusted certificate.

Just looking for advice or opinions from anyone who's used this feature.

Thanks!

Kirby, you'll need to download the rdp plugin from Cisco's site and install it on the asa, then "rdp" will show up in your protocol list.

You have several methods of utilizing rdp with 8.0 code.
With clientless you can either do java (does not do full screen), activeX (full screen), and finally utilize native rdp client on local machine using "smart tunnels". You can have smart tunnels automatically start when you login to your ssl portal. Once logged in startup mstsc and connect to your remote computer. For SSO, it only works with standard http apps using http auth, will not work with form auth either.
