Overview of Advanced Clientless SSL VPN Settings: In this section, we discuss the various options you have for deploying application access through your SSL VPN tunnel to remote users and any advantages or disadvantages each option may have.
Application Access Through Port Forwarding: In this section, we discuss the components involved and behavior of application access using the Port Forwarding applet, the applications supported using the Port Forwarding applet, and TCP support. We also review the reasons why this type of access is now regarded as legacy in comparison to other application access options.
Application Access Using Client-Server Plug-Ins: In this section, we discuss the implementation of client-server plug-ins for your remote users through the SSL VPN portal. We also look at the plug-ins available, the process of downloading and installing them on your ASA device, how to add them to a bookmark list, and finally their operation and customization.
Application Access Through Smart Tunnels: In this section, you discover the powerful application smart tunnels within your environment and learn how to enable their implementation for remote users through your SSL VPN portal. This section also covers the applications currently supported through them and their support on varying operating systems.
Configuring SSL/TLS Proxies: In this section, we review the operation and implementation of email, HTTP, and HTTPS proxies and their use cases.
Troubleshooting Advanced Application Access: In this section, we review the techniques and common questions you ask when troubleshooting application access through your SSL VPN.
In previous chapters, we reviewed the various protocols involved when creating and maintaining a Secure Sockets Layer virtual private network (SSL VPN) tunnel and the steps involved in creating and deploying a basic SSL VPN. Now we can move on to another important topic you need to understand, not only for the exam but for the successful deployment of any SSL VPN you might come to install during your professional career: allowing application access to remote users.
