Deployment Scenarios of WebVPN

The Cisco WebVPN solution is useful in deployments where remote and home users need limited application support without installing a separate VPN client. The WebVPN solution can be deployed in many ways; however, the sections that follow cover two design scenarios for ease of understanding:

Note

The design scenarios discussed in this section should be used solely to reinforce learning. They should be used for reference purposes only.

 

WebVPN with External Authentication

SecureMe has recently learned about the WebVPN functionality in Cisco ASA and wants to deploy it for a group of mobile contractors in London who do not have access to Cisco VPN Client. These contractors use a web server for browsing, a terminal server, and a Windows file server to save and retrieve their documents.

Figure 16-24 shows SecureMe's network topology for WebVPN.

The security requirements for SecureMe's London office are as follows:

Example 16-90 shows the relevant configuration of the London ASA.

WebVPN with E-Mail Proxies

SecureMe is looking to deploy the WebVPN e-mail proxy functionality for its remote users who need to check their corporate e-mail. These users generally use either POP3 or IMAP4 depending on their email client configuration. Figure 16-25 shows SecureMe's network topology for e-mail proxy.

The security requirements for SecureMe's Sydney office are as follows:
