22.2 Usage of the SSL-VPN interface
For access to the interface, most of common graphical web browsers can be
used (however, we recommend to use Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or
Firefox/Netscape/Mozilla/SeaMonkey with the core version 1.3 and later). Specify URL
in the browser in the
https://server/
format, where server represents the DNS name or IP address of the WinRoute host.
If SSL-VPN uses another port than the default port for HTTPS (443), it is necessary to
specify the used port in the URL, e.g.
https://server:12345/

localized to the language set in the browser. If the language defined as preferred is not
available, the English version will be used.
For access to the network by SSL-VPN , authentication to the particular domain at the
login page by username and password is required. Any operations with shared files and
folders are performed under the identity of the user currently logged in.
