[FW-1] Understanding SecureClient Concepts

["Loubier, Richard" <Richard.Loubier@FW1-NOSPAMSSQ.CA>]

Hi,

I am looking into installing SecureClient for our VPN access and I want to be sure that I correctly understand the concepts behind it. We are actually running with FW-1 4.1 (sp5). We are also implementing a HA setup using Rainwall.

So, if you have any background in setting up and using SecureClient, I will appreciate your feed back...

Please, correct me if I'm wrong but what I understand now is that :

- I need a license to use SecureClient
- This license should cover all my users in the users database (ex: I have 70 users, my license should be at least for 70 users even if they don't all use VPN)
- This license should be installed on the policy server
- The policy server is a FW module
- The policy server is distinct from the management station
- It is reachable from the Internet
- If using a HA setup, the SecureClient license should be on the two FW modules? Do I need a separate FW module?
- Do I need two distinct licenses in HA setup (one for each FW module)?

Thanks for your feedback!

Richard
