Introduction to SSL VPN A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a tunnel that carries private network traffic from one endpoint system to another over a public network such as the Internet without the traffic being aware that there are intermediate hops between the endpoints or the intermediate hops being aware they are carrying the network packets that are traversing the tunnel. The tunnel may optionally compress and/or encrypt the data, providing enhanced performance and some measure of security. VPN is cost-effective because users can connect to the Internet locally and tunnel back to connect to corporate resources. This not only reduces overhead costs associated with traditional remote access methods, but also improves flexibility and scalability. For business telecommuters or employees working from home, connecting securely to the corporate intranets or extranets to access files or application is essential. Hence, whenever users access the organization resources from remote locations, it is essential that not only the common requirements of secure connectivity be met but also the special demands of remote clients. These requirements include: Flexible Access: The remote users must be able to access the organization from various locations, like Internet cafes, hotels, airport etc. The range of applications available must include web applications, mail, file shares, and other more specialized applications required to meet corporate needs. Secure connectivity: Guaranteed by the combination of authentication, confidentiality and data integrity for every connection. Usability: Installation must be easy. No configuration should be required as a result of network modification at the remote user end. The given solution should be seamless for the connecting user. To satisfy the above basic requirements, a secure connectivity framework is needed to ensure that remote access to the corporate network is securely enabled. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) VPN provides simple-to-use and implement secure access for the remote users. It allows access to the Corporate network from anywhere, anytime and provides the ability to create point-to-point encrypted tunnels between remote user and company s internal network, requiring combination of SSL certificates and a username/password for authentication to enable access to the internal resources. Depending on the access requirement, remote users can access through SSL VPN Client or End user Web Portal (clientless access). Note SSL VPN is not supported when Appliance is deployed as Bridge mode. SSL VPN feature is not available for CR15i Page 6 of 18
Concepts of SSL VPN SSL VPN Access Modes When a remote user connects to the Cyberoam appliance, the Cyberoam appliance authenticates the user based on user name and password. A successful login determines the access rights of remote users according to user group SSL VPN policy. The user group SSL VPN policy specifies whether the connection will operate in Web Access mode or Tunnel Access mode. Tunnel Access mode Tunnel Access mode provides access to the Corporate network to remote users through laptops as well as from Internet cafes, hotels, airport etc. It requires an SSL VPN Client at the remote end. Remote users are required to download and install SSL VPN Client from the End-user Web Portal. SSL VPN client establishes a SSL VPN tunnel over the HTTPS link between the web browser and the Cyberoam appliance to encrypt and send the traffic to the Cyberoam appliance. Cyberoam allows two types of tunneling: Split Tunnel: To avoid the bandwidth choking, split tunnel can be configured which ensures that only the traffic for the private network is encrypted and tunneled while the Internet traffic is send through the usual unencrypted route.this is configured by default and is used to avoid bandwidth choking. In this mode, Cyberoam acts as a secure HTTP/HTTPS gateway and authenticates the remote users. On successful authentication, Cyberoam redirects the web browser to the Web portal. Remote users can download SSL VPN client and configuration file for installation. Configuring Tunnel Access mode is a two-step process: 1. Select Tunnel Access mode in VPN SSL policy 2. Assign policy to the user group Full Tunnel: This ensures that not only private network traffic but other Internet traffic is also tunneled and encrypted. For administrators, Cyberoam Web Admin console provides SSL VPN management. Administrator can configure SSL VPN users, access method and policies, network resources, and system and portal settings. For remote users: Access End user Web Portal If you are installing SSL VPN Client for the first time, download bundled SSL VPN Client and install client on desktop machine. Bundle includes installer as well as configuration file. If you have already installed the SSL VPN Client, download only the configuration file from End user Web Portal and import the downloaded SSL VPN Client Configuration file. Web Access Mode Web Access mode provides access to the remote users who are equipped with the web browser only and when access is to be provided to the certain Enterprise Web applications/servers through web browser only. In other words, it offers a clientless network access using any web browser. The feature comprises of an SSL daemon running on the Cyberoam unit and End user Web portal which provides users with access to network services and resources. In this mode, Cyberoam acts as a secure HTTP/HTTPS gateway and authenticates the remote Page 7 of 18
users. On successful authentication, Cyberoam redirects the web browser to the Web portal from where remote users can access the applications behind the Cyberoam appliance. Configuring Web Access mode is a two-step process: 1. Select Web Access mode in VPN SSL policy 2. Assign policy to the User or Group For administrators, Cyberoam Web Admin console provides SSL VPN management. Administrator can configure SSL VPN users, access method and policies, user bookmarks for network resources, and system and portal settings. For remote users, customizable End user Web Portal enables access to resources as per the configured SSL VPN policy. With no hassles of client installation, it is truly a clientless access. Application access mode Application Access mode provides access to the remote users who are equipped with the web browser and when access is to be provided to the certain Enterprise applications through web browser only. Application access mode also offers a clientless network access using any web browser. The feature comprises of an SSL daemon running on the Cyberoam unit and End user Web portal which provides users with access to network services and resources. Application access allows remote access to different TCP based applications like HTTP, HTTPS, RDP, TELNET, SSH and FTP without installing client. In this mode, Cyberoam acts as a secure gateway and authenticates the remote users. On successful authentication, Cyberoam redirects the web browser to the Web portal from where remote users can access the applications behind the Cyberoam appliance. Configuring Application Access mode is a two-step process: 1. Select Application Access mode in VPN SSL policy 2. Assign policy to the User or Group For administrators, Cyberoam Web Admin console provides SSL VPN management. Administrator can configure SSL VPN users, access method and policies, user bookmarks for network resources, and system and portal settings. For remote users, customizable End user Web Portal enables access to resources as per the configured SSL VPN policy. With no hassles of client installation, it is also a clientless access.

Threat - Free Tunneling Cyberoam scans VPN Tunnel Traffic (incoming and outgoing) for malware, spam, inappropriate content and intrusion attempts, ensuring Threat-free Tunneling. Furthermore, VPN traffic is subjected to DoS inspection, although Cyberoam does provide the option of bypassing DoS inspection for specific traffic. Cyberoam does not have an exclusive port assigned for the VPN Zone like the LAN, WAN and DMZ ports. As soon as a VPN connection is established, the port/interface used by the connection is automatically added to the VPN zone, and on disconnection, the port is removed by itself. VPN zone is used by both IPSec and SSL VPN traffic. Note Threat Free Tunneling is applicable only when SSL VPN tunnel is established through Tunnel Access Mode. Network Resources Network Resources are the components that can be accessed using SSL VPN. SSL VPN provides access to an HTTP or HTTPS server on the internal network, Internet, or any other network segment that can be reached by the Cyberoam. The Administrator can configure Web (HTTP) or Secure Web (HTTPS) bookmarks and internal network resources to allow access to Web-based resources and applications. If required, custom URL access can also be provided. Network resources: Resource Bookmarks Bookmark Groups Custom URLs - Not defined as Bookmark Enterprise Private Network resources Accessible in Mode Web Access Mode, Application Access Mode Web Access Mode, Application Access Mode Web Access Mode Tunnel Access Mode Page 9 of 18
