Anonymous server in Juniper SA

--> The anonymous server feature allows users to access the SA Series SSL VPN Appliance without providing a username or password.

--> Instead, when a user enters the URL of a sign-in page that is configured to authenticate against an anonymous server, the SA Series SSL VPN Appliance bypasses the standard sign-in page, and immediately displays the welcome page to the user.

--> You may choose to use anonymous authentication if you think that the resources on the SA Series SSL VPN Appliance do not require extreme security, or if you think that other security measures provided through the SA Series SSL VPN Appliance are sufficient.

--> For example, you may create a user role with limited access to internal resources, and then authenticate that role with a policy that only requires users to sign in with an IP address that resides within your internal network.

--> When defining and monitoring an anonymous server instance, note that you can only add one anonymous server configuration. It is not possible to authenticate administrators against the anonymous server.

Introduction to pulse connect secure

--> The Pulse Connect Secure provides secure and controlled access to give employees, partners to your corporate data and applications including file servers, Web servers, native messaging and e-mail clients, hosted servers, and more from outside your trusted network using just a Web browser.

--> Pulse Connect Secure acts as Proxy between users from outside network to the resources in the internal network.

--> Pulse Connect Secure acts as a secure Application Layer gateway proxying all requests between the public Internet and internal corporate resources.

--> All requests that enter the system are already encrypted by the end user's browser, using SSL/HTTPS 128-bit or 168-bit encryption—unencrypted requests are dropped.

-->  The Secure Application Manager intermediates traffic to client/server applications including Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, and Citrix.

--> if you want to secure access to your company Intranet, you can use the Web rewriting feature. This feature uses the system’s Content Intermediation Engine to intermediate traffic to Web-based applications and Web pages.

--> You can easily configure Connect Secure to use your company’s existing servers to authenticate your end users—Users do not need to learn a new username and password to access the device.

--> Connect Secure enables you to protect against viruses, attacks, and other security concerns using the Host Checker feature.

--> Host Checker performs security checks on the clients that connect to the device. For instance, you can use Host Checker to verify that end-user systems contain up-to-date antivirus software, firewalls, critical software hotfixes, and other applications that protect your users’ computers.
