• Introduction to SSL VPN provides useful general information about VPN and SSL, how the FortiGate unit implements them, and gives guidance on how to choose between SSL and IPsec.

• Basic Configuration explains how to configure the FortiGate unit and the web portal. Along with these configuration details, this chapter also explains how to grant unique access permissions, configure the SSL virtual interface (ssl.root), and describes the SSL VPN OS Patch Check feature that allows a client with a specific OS patch to access SSL VPN services.

• The SSL VPN client provides an overview of the FortiClient software required for tunnel mode, where to obtain the software, install it and the configuration information required for remote users to connect to the internal network.

• Setup examples explores several configuration scenarios with step-by-step instructions. While the information provided is enough to set up the described SSL VPN configurations, these scenarios are not the only possible SSL VPN setups.
