Hi Andreas, We are successfully deploying SunRay 2's remotely using the Cisco ASA5505 and ASA5510 firewalls. A basic ASA5505 should be around US$500, good for 25 remote users I think. The 5510 can do much more (maybe 200) but pricing more like US$3000+.
VPN setup to make the SunRay work appears to be the same as any other VPN client. The ASA will allow you to authenticate the incoming VPN user to LDAP (incl. Active Directory) or RADIUS. VPN client in the SunRay is clever enough to prompt for a username and password if this is not setup in the GUI VPN options, so adds a little security when the VPN is established. cheers, Malcolm > > Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 12:29:17 +0100 > From: Andreas H?schler<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] Sun Ray 2 and VPN > To: SunRay-Users mailing list <[email protected]> > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed > > Hi Jakob, > > > We simply give home users a cheap access-point with OpenWRT running > > OpenVPN to > > the office.
