The Virtual Intranet Access (VIA) client from Aruba provides secure remote network connectivity for Android, Apple i OS, Mac OS X, Linux & Windows devices. A hybrid IPsec/SSL VPN, VIA automatically scans & selects the secure connection to the corporate network. VIA offers a zero-touch end-user experience & automatically configures wireless LAN (WLAN) settings on client devices. Integrated solution Orderable through the Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) license, VIA can be downloaded directly from the Mobility Controller, or pushed out from an existing software management platform. VIA connects to & receives both software & configuration updates directly from the Mobility Controller with no additional hardware required. Automatic IPsec connection VIA is completely Wi-Fi-aware. From a non-corporate network
- such as a home WLAN, 4G/LTE, 3G or public Wi-Fi network
- VIA automatically launches a VPN-on-demand connection to the data center. Connectivity & authentication occur transparently with no complicated logins. IPsec with SSL fallback encapsulation VIA uses the standard IPsec protocol suite to secure communications between VIA-enabled devices & an Aruba Mobility Controller in the data center. This ensures the fast connections possible where clients can connect via native IPsec. If a firewall blocks direct IPsec connections, VIA can wrap IPsec packets in an SSL header to allow secure connectivity through corporate firewalls. Leveraging single sign-on The same mobile device credentials that authenticate users to wireless LANs (WLANs) can also be used to authenticate VIA users. Leveraging these credentials, VIA automatically connects users in the background without prompting them for a username & password.
