VPN clients and BorderManager

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 26 Jan 2005

Q:
Do any third-party VPN clients for Windows work with BorderManager 3.8? If so, which ones and how must they be configured in order to work?

A:
If you just want to establish a VPN connection, you only need to install the BM v3.8 VPN client and not the Novell Client. You need the Novell Client if you want to log in to a Netware server. If you only need connection to the internal subnet to access Intranet servers, Citrix, etc., then only the VPN client is needed. See http://www.novell.com/documentation/nbm38/index.html?page=/documentation/nbm38/inst_admin/data/anokuq5.html for a list of third-party clients that will work with BM3.8
