Secure Socket Layer Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN)
Secure Socket Layer Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) allows departmental network administrators to configure an SSL VPN service for departmental servers and applications. SSL VPN allows authorized users to securely access departmental applications and data sources that are closed to public Internet users.
The SSL VPN platform enables direct, real-time management of account creation/deletion through integration with a department's existing authentication systems or campus Central Authentication Service (CAS). Department network administrators will have capability to define specific access to their virtual systems and manage user access role assignment. SSL VPN is offered via a Service Level Agreement between CR and the client department.
