SSL Network Extender
Introduction to the SSL Network Extender
Whenever users access the organization from remote locations, it is essential that not only the usual requirements of secure connectivity be met but also the special demands of remote clients. These requirements include:
To resolve these issues, a secure connectivity framework is needed to ensure that remote access to the corporate network is securely enabled.
The SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Network Extender is a simple-to-implement remote access solution. A thin client is installed on the user's machine. (The SSL Network Extender client has a much smaller size than other clients.) It is connected to an SSL enabled web server that is part of the Enforcement Module. By default, the SSL enabled web server is disabled. It is activated by using the SmartDashboard, thus enabling full secure IP connectivity over SSL. The SSL Network Extender requires a server side configuration only, unlike other remote access clients. Once the end user has connected to a server, the thin client is downloaded as an ActiveX component, installed, and then used to connect to the corporate network using the SSL protocol.
It is much easier to deploy a new version of the SSL Network Extender client than it is to deploy a new version of other conventional clients.
Small size client: Download size of SSL Network Extender SSL Network Extender on disk is approximately 650K. All Security Gateway authentication schemes are supported: Authentication can be performed using a certificate, Check Point password or external user databases, such as SecurID, LDAP, RADIUS and so forth.

How the SSL Network Extender Works
The SSL Network Extender solution comprises a thin client installed on the user's Desktop/Laptop and an SSL enabled web server component, integrated into the Security Gateway.
To enable connectivity for clients using the SSL Network Extender - a Security Gateway must be configured to support SecuRemote/SecureClient, in addition to a minor configuration specific to SSL Network Extender.
The SSL Network Extender may be installed on the user's machine by downloading it from a Security Gateway, R55 HFA10 (or higher).
Commonly Used Concepts
This section briefly describes commonly used concepts that you will encounter when dealing with the SSL Network Extender. It is strongly recommended that you review the 'Remote Access VPN' section of this bookbefore reading this guide.
Remote Access VPN
Refers to remote users accessing the network with client software such as SecuRemote/SecureClient, SSL clients, or third party IPSec clients. The Security Gateway provides a Remote Access Service to the remote clients.
Remote Access Community
A Remote Access Community, a Check Point concept, is a type of VPN community created specifically for users that usually work from remote locations, outside of the corporate LAN.
Office Mode
Office Mode is a Check Point remote access VPN solution feature. It enables a Security Gateway to assign a remote client an IP address. This IP address is used only internally for secure encapsulated communication with the home network, and therefore is not visible in the public network. The assignment takes place once the user connects and authenticates. The assignment lease is renewed as long as the user is connected. The address may be taken either from a general IP address pool, or from an IP address pool specified per user group, using a configuration file.
Visitor Mode
Visitor Mode is a Check Point remote access VPN solution feature. It enables tunneling of all client-to-Security Gateway communication through a regular TCP connection on port 443. Visitor mode is designed as a solution for firewalls and Proxy servers that are configured to block IPsec connectivity.
Endpoint Security on Demand
Endpoint Security on demand (ESOD) may be used to scan endpoint computers for potentially harmful software before allowing them to access the internal application. When end users access the SSL Network Extender for the first time, they are prompted to download an ActiveX component that scans the end user machine for Malware. The scan results are presented both to the Security Gateway and to the end user. SSL Network Extender access is granted/denied to the end user based on the compliance options set by the administrator.
ESOD Policy per User Group
Since there are many different kinds of threats to your network's security, different users may require different configurations in order to guard against the increasing number and variety of threats. The ability to configure a variety of ESOD policies enables the administrator to customize the software screening process between different user groups.
Screened Software Types
ESOD can screen for the Malware software types listed in the following table:

Installation for Users without Administrator Privileges
https://cleverzine.weebly.com/download-lightroom-57-1-mac.html. The SSL Network Extender usually requires Administrator privileges to install the ActiveX component. To allow users that do not have Administrator privileges to use the SSL Network Extender, the Administrator can use his/her remote corporate installation tools (such as, Microsoft SMS) to publish the installation of the SSL Network Extender, as an MSI package, in configuring the SSL Network Extender.
To prepare the SSL Network Extender MSI package:
On Windows Vista, Mac and Linux, it is possible to install SSL Network Extender for users that are not administrators, if the user knows the admin password. In this case, perform a regular SSL Network Extender installation and supply the administrator password when asked.
SSL Network Extender User Experience
This section describes the user experience, including downloading and connecting the SSL Network Extender client, importing a client certificate, and uninstalling on disconnect.
Configuring Microsoft Internet Explorer
Check Point SSL Network Extender uses ActiveX controls and cookies to connect to applications via the Internet. These enabling technologies require specific browser configuration to ensure that the applications are installed and work properly on your computer. The Trusted Sites Configuration approach includes the SSL Network Extender Portal as one of your Trusted Sites. This approach is highly recommended, as it does not lessen your security. Please follow the directions below to configure your browser.
Trusted Sites Configuration
About ActiveX Controls
ActiveX controls are software modules, based on Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) architecture. They add functionality to software applications by seamlessly incorporating pre-made modules with the basic software package.
On the Internet, ActiveX controls can be linked to Web pages and downloaded by an ActiveX-compliant browser. ActiveX controls turn Web pages into software pages that perform like any other program.
The SSL Network Extender can use ActiveX control in its applications. To use ActiveX you must download the specific ActiveX components required for each application. Once these components are loaded, you do not need to download them again unless upgrades or updates become available. If you do not want to use an ActiveX component you may work with a Java Applet.
Downloading and Connecting the Client
The following section discusses how to download and connect the SSL Network Extender.
To Download the Client:
ESOD not only prevents users with potentially harmful software from accessing your network, but also requires that they conform to the corporate antivirus and firewall policies, as well. A user is defined as having successfully passed the ESOD scan only if he/she successfully undergoes scans for Malware, Anti-Virus, and Firewall. Each malware is displayed as a link, which, if selected, redirects you to a data sheet describing the detected malware. The data sheet includes the name and a short description of the detected malware, what it does, and the recommended removal method/s.
The options available to the user are configured by the administrator on the ESOD server.The options are listed in the following table:
To continue with the download:
Importing a Client Certificate with the Microsoft Certificate Import Wizard to Internet Explorer
