17.0 Configuring SSL VPN to Connect through a Forward Proxy

The Novell® SSL VPN can be configured to detect and connect through a forward proxy in both Kiosk as well as Enterprise modes after authenticating to the Identity server. To establish the SSL VPN connection through a forward proxy, you can either configure the browser or create a proxy.conf file in the user’s home directory. You must also ensure that the SSL VPN server is listening on the TCP port and not on the UDP port.

NOTE:The SSL VPN client ignores the use of dynamic proxy configuration either by assigning a proxy.pac JavaScript* to the browser client or by using the WPAD protocol. In such a scenario, use the proxy.conf file. Fore more information on how to create a proxy.conf file, see Section 17.2, Creating the proxy.conf File.
