After configuring the SSL VPN-Plus service, enable the service for remote users to begin accessing private networks.

Procedure

  1. In the SSL VPN-Plus tab, select Dashboard from the left panel.
  2. Click Start.
    The dashboard displays the status of the service, number of active SSL VPN sessions, and session statistics and data flow details. Click Details next to Number of Active Sessions to view information about the concurrent connections to private networks behind the NSX Edge gateway.

What to do next

  1. Add an SNAT rule to translate the IP address of the NSX Edge appliance to the VPN Edge IP address.
  2. Using a web browser, navigate to the IP address of the NSX Edge interface by typing https//NSXEdgeIPAddress.
  3. Login using the user name and password that you created in the Add a User section and download the installation package.
  4. Enable port forwarding on your router for the port number used in Add SSL VPN-Plus Server Settings.
  5. Launch the VPN client, select your VPN server, and login. You can now navigate to the services on your network. SSL VPN-Plus gateway logs are sent to the syslog server configured on the NSX Edge appliance. SSL VPN-Plus client logs are stored in the following directory on the remote user's computer: %PROGRAMFILES%/VMWARE/SSLVPN Client/.
