Hi Jean Pierre.
Hm.. I understand, but for the other hand it
increases the TCO and related management in a way the pay off is
questionable,
Maybe a good combination of strong vpn/ fw (as
vpn-1 is) and good authentication (as certificates / securid) could make better,
considering the administration point of view...
Suggestions and thoughts welcome...

Aylton,
Like
I said, the biggest advantage of using PPTP after establishing the SR
connection is where you have dual level, multi vendor firewalls. Assuming
the external FW is FW-1 then you can establish the Securemote connection to
the border FW, then tunnel through the second FW to the internal n/w, or to
the second firewall if supported. This also adds another
level of authentication.

Hi,
I really tried, but I could not understand the
advantage or purpose of using PPTP AND SecuRemote.
I can't see anything on PPTP that cannot be
implemented better (easier, safer and more manageable) with Securemote /
SecureClient...
Wins, domains and so can be reached and managed
using for example SDL...
I'd like to better understand the need itself
for the combinated funcionality and maybe I can suggest
alternatives.
Best regards
Aylton

Andreas,
I do agree with you that it is easier, especially if you
have dual firewalls, then you can tunnel through to the internal network
after connecting via securemote. I have had the config working, but not
consistantly. ie. it was working in my test network for a while and now it
does not and I did not change anything, so I can not give you a definitive
answer. If someone else can I would be interested in hearing about
it.
