Browser - Based SSL VPN: How It Works
The Positive WebTop
The PositivePRO WebTop is a clientless SSL browser-based method for working remotely. Each user simply goes to the Positive WebTop site and signs in. No vpn client software is necessary on the remote PC.
This clientless approach is ideal for users who are using kiosks, in visiting offices, or simply using someone else's PC. Upon sign in, the user will receive a customized Web Portal completely defined by policies in the Policy Manager.
Unlike some other "clientless" web-based VPN solutions, PositivePRO WebTop access affords nearly all the functionality of client-based remote access methods. Users have a portal to virtually any corporate resource, including:
- Email (Outlook Client, OWA, Exchange, POP3)
- Files on company drive shares
- Intranet sites
- Running Client-server applications locally in their native mode
- Terminal services
- Application distribution
- Remote desktop functionality
Just as important, through an ActiveX control, the PositivePRO WebTop is capable of enforcing the same types of security policies as with a traditional vpn client including:
- Anti-virus support
- Spyware protection
- Critical updates enforcement
The WebTop works seamlessly behind company firewalls and proxy servers and is designed to give universal, convenient remote access to your users.
