Chapter 1 Configuring Clientless SSL VPN
Communicating Security Tips
Requiring Usernames and Passwords
Depending on your network, during a remote session users might have to log in to any or all of the
following: the computer itself, an Internet service provider, clientless SSL VPN, mail or file servers, or
corporate applications. Users might have to authenticate in many different contexts, requiring different
information, such as a unique username, password, or PIN.
Table 1-10 lists the type of usernames and passwords that clientless SSL VPN users might need to know.
Communicating Security Tips
Advise users to always click the logout icon on the toolbar to close the clientless SSL VPN session.
(Closing the browser window does not close the session.)
Clientless SSL VPN ensures the security of data transmission between the remote PC or workstation and
the ASA on the corporate network. Advise users that using clientless SSL VPN does not ensure that
communication with every site is secure. If a user then accesses a non-HTTPS web resource (located on
the Internet or on the internal network), the communication from the corporate ASA to the destination
web server is not private because it is not encrypted.
"Observing Clientless SSL VPN Security Precautions" on page 5 addresses an additional tip to
communicate with users, depending on the steps you follow within that section.
