[VPN] SSL VPN

I checked out Netilla as well.  It seemed attractive, but we were
looking for a solution that provided network layer access for fat-client
applications on laptops in addition to web-browser access.  Also, the
graphic resolution is low (ala RDP), so you can't use it for hi-res
graphic applications.

I am researching everything about SSL and it's use as a VPN solution. I

it's limitations but I was wondering has anyone tried this: allowed a
SSL connection to a web
server that lets the user to open a connection to a terminal server. Or
can it be configured to
connect to a terminal server via a SSL connection directly? Has anyone
tried this, were they 
successful?

Again, I am just researching this thought. Any word back on this would
be most appreciated,
thanks.

hello Vincent,

one thing you can try is Netilla, it is an appliance running a hardened
version of Apache,
and Linux... it is a SSL appliance to connect to your internal machines,
supposedly they are the only manufau.
to be licensed from MicroSloth to reverse engineer MS's RDP protocol... 

This thing is pretty sweet, and would be worth your time to look into...
I had a Netilla rep. come on site to
do a demo...

I have some contacts if you'd be interested... it is priced pretty
cheep... basically you get the box for free, and
you just pay per user... the same amount as if you were paying for
individual Citrix licenses... 
they even have 30 day demo's that do not require a contingent purchase
order...

It's a very nice way to web enable many non-web applications thru a
common secure web interface.
