Get the boss to arrange with whatever ISP (or even better - the LAN he is
attaching to in Calif.) for a FIXED IP address for the day and advise you
accordingly so that you can build a rule to allow access accordingly -
being sure to only allow appropriate services (only those needed to
demonstrate Intranet) and set only for certain times of day.

Agree a time when you will delete the rule.

Let the boss know the setup exactly and the associated risks.


None of the above is ideal but if the boss insists..... ;-)

I would have loved to have that happen. I already hit with that...but it
fell upon deaf ears.
Basically, I told him why even have a FW if you want to do this nonsense...

Oh well.

Even client auth has it's limits. Tell your boss to forget it, the security
risks (especially not knowing the source addresses) far outweigh everything
else.

Hi all:

I have just been handed something that I do not know if it is possible.

Heres the situation. Big boss is traveling to California to show the other
big bosses what the programmers have done to the intranet.

Boss wants to be able to come from the outside thru the FW and look at the
intranet.

Problem: We have not deployed secure-remote. (Never been a need, and it is
not installed on the FW)
Problem: Getting in has to be as "transparent as possible to the user".
(yeah, right)

Could client authentication handle access to a host inside and nat it to
the
outside?

Thanks in advance.

Tom
