5.2 Sandbox Feature

The SSL VPN client comes with the sandbox feature. When you connect to SSL VPN in either Kiosk mode or Enterprise mode, a folder named VPN-SANDBOX is created on your desktop. You can copy all the files, folders that you have downloaded from your corporate network, or that you have created into this folder. This folder is automatically deleted when the SSL VPN connection is terminated. This is a very useful feature if you are browsing from an internet Kiosk and you do not want any sensitive information to reach other persons.

The Browser Agent logs indicate that the Sandbox folder is created on your desktop. For more information on how to view SSL VPN logs, see Section 6.3, Viewing SSL VPN Logs.

You can manually copy any files that you download from your corporate network or any other location into this folder. This folder is automatically deleted along with its contents when you log out of the SSL VPN connection.

This feature is not the same as the desktop cleanup feature of SSL VPN, where the browser history and the cookies are deleted when you log out of the SSL VPN connection. For more information on the desktop cleanup feature, see Section 6.5, Logging Out of the Active SSL VPN Session.
