Deploying Access for Trusted Users

To better understand how to deploy a remote access VPN, this
section provides an overview of how the SonicWALL Aventail
access clients and agents are deployed to users.
Access method Deployment options
Connect Tunnel client • Users can download and install the client
for Windows, Macintosh, or Linux in
Aventail WorkPlace.
• Administrators can create a custom
installer package of Connect Tunnel
components and make it available for
users to install from another network
location (without requiring them to log in
to Aventail WorkPlace), or distribute the
client as a disk image.
OnDemand Tunnel • The agent is automatically activated each
agent time a user logs in to Aventail WorkPlace
and authenticates using a Web browser.
Connect Mobile client • The client is installed using a Windows
setup program that extracts the
application files and then copies the files
to the user's Windows Mobile-powered
device.
Customizing WorkPlace on
Access method Deployment options
• Translated Web provides access through
Translated Web access
the Aventail WorkPlace portal as a
fallback for systems that do not support
other access methods.
Providing Access to Web Resources
Web resources are applications or services that run over the
HTTP or HTTPS protocols, such as Microsoft Outlook Web
Access or a corporate intranet. There are several ways to give
users access to these resources—choose the method that is
appropriate for your various audiences. For example, you can
give business partners narrow access to a Web application by
specifying a particular URL in your resource definition.
Employees are granted broader access if you define the domain
in which that Web application is located as a resource.
Defining Specific Web Resources
To provide user access to a specific Web application or other
Web resource:
1. Define a URL resource on the Add/Edit Resource page.
2. Create an access control rule referencing the URL on the
Add/Edit Access Rule page.
3. Add a Web shortcut to WorkPlace on the WorkPlace
Shortcuts page.
