Chapter 5: Planning for an SSL VPN
SSL VPN certainly offers exciting potential but this does not mean that it is a perfect technology or that it is suitable for addressing every remote-access need. In this chapter, we will examine scenarios that are appropriate candidates for an SSL VPN deployment, and cases where IPSec or some other alternative technology might be better suited. We will also cover some important things to look for when selecting an SSL VPN product, and some guidelines for performing the actual preparation for SSL VPN implementation.
