Global Protect SSL VPN Overview
This document gives you an overview on how to configure Global Protect for SSL VPN access. I use a
customized port other than the default (443) and a little help from a loopback adapter.
You can also create a security group in Active Directory where the user must be a member of before
he can access the network via SSL VPN. Users will be authenticated via a Network Policy on the
Network Policy Server running on Windows Server 2012.
