SSL vs. IPsec

As far as I know, several projects are now in progress on CORBA IKE/IPsec
services development. After this will become reality, SSL itself will likely
to be used only for web-browser <-> portal protection but not beyond. In my
opinion it's better to not think about "VPN" as just encrypted pipes for
LAN-LAN communications but rather on IPsec mechanisms usage in favor of
application-level security. Nothing prevents people from remembering that
there might be more then one domain of interpretation.

()In my opinion, SSL and the Corba Security Service will eventually render
()"crude" VPNs obsolete for trading partners and public applications. VPNs
()will continue to be great for legacy applications like telnet, ERP and any
()two tier or RPC stuff that is around now (e.g. big corporations). The
()perceived gaping hole that VPNs leave at unsecured network ends are likely
()to make their widespread acceptance tenuous.

()Hi,
()
()I'm looking for some arguments/reasons of why you would choose for a IPSec
()VPN instead of a SSL solution when the remote user is 'only' using Web
()based
()applications (could also make of DCOM, Corba, ...). Is there someone who
()has
()a clear view on this and is willing to share this ?

()Many thanks,
()Guy
