Abstract:
The present disclosure provides solutions for an enterprise providing services to a variety of clients to enable the client to use the resources provided by the enterprise by modifying URLs received and the URLs from the responses from the servers to the client's requests before forwarding the requests and the responses to the intended destinations. An intermediary may identify an access profile for a clients' request to access a server via a clientless SSL VPN session. The intermediary may detect one or more URLs in content served by the server in response to the request using one or more regular expressions of the access profile. The intermediary may rewrite or modify, responsive to detecting, the one or more detected URLs in accordance with a URL transformation specified by one or more rewrite policies of the access profile. The response with modified URLs may be forwarded to the client.
Abstract:
The present application enables the enterprise to configure various policies to address various subsets of the traffic based on various information relating the client, the server, or the details and nature of the interactions between the client and the server. An intermediary deployed between clients and servers may establish an SSL VPN session between a client and a server. The intermediary may receiving a response from a server to a request of a client via the clientless SSL VPN session. The response may comprise one or more cookies. The intermediary may identify an access profile for the clientless SSL VPN session. The access profile may identify one or more policies for proxying cookies. The intermediary may determine, responsive to the one or more policies of the access profile, whether to proxy or bypass proxying for the client the one or more cookies.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for form-based single sign-on by a user desiring access to one or more protected resources, e.g., protected web pages, protected web-served applications, etc. In various embodiments, a single sign-on (SSO) module is in operation on an intermediary device, which is disposed in a network to manage internet traffic between a plurality of clients and a plurality of servers. The intermediary device can identify an authentication response from a server and forward the authentication response to the SSO module. The SSO module can complete a login form in the authentication response with a client's authentication data, return the completed login form to the server and forward cookies associated with the authentication response to the client. In various embodiments, multiple login forms can be completed, transparently to the client, by the SSO module on a client's behalf and reduce time expended by a client in obtaining access to protected resources.

Abstract:
The present disclosure presents methods, systems and intermediaries which determine an encoding scheme of a uniform resource location (URL) from a plurality of encoding schemes for a clientless secure socket layer virtual private network (SSL VPN) via a proxy. An intermediary may receive a response from a server comprising a URL. The response from the server may be directed to a client via a SSL VPN session and via the intermediary. The intermediary may determine, responsive to an encoding policy, one of a transparent, opaque or encrypted encoding scheme for encoding the URL. The intermediary may rewrite the URL for transmission to the client in accordance with the determined encoding scheme.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a system and method of managing traffic traversing an intermediary based on a result of end point auditing. An authentication virtual server of an intermediary may determine a result of an end point analysis scan of a client. Responsive to the determination, the traffic management virtual server can obtain the result from the authentication virtual server. Further, the traffic management virtual server may apply the result in one or more traffic management policies to manage network traffic of a connection of the client traversing the intermediary. In some embodiments, the authentication virtual server may receive one or more expressions evaluated by the client. The one or more expressions identifies one or more attributes of the client. The traffic management virtual server can also determine a type of compression or encryption for the connection based on applying the one or more traffic management policies using the result.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides solutions that may enable an enterprise providing services to a number of clients to determine whether to establish a client based SSL VPN session or a clientless SSL VPN session with a client based on an information associated with the client. An intermediary establishing SSL VPN sessions between clients and servers may receive a request from a client to access a server. The intermediary may identify a session policy based on the request. The session policy may indicate whether to establish a client based SSL VPN session or clientless SSL VPN session with the server. The intermediary may determine, responsive to the policy, to establish a clientless or client based SSL VPN session between the client and the server.
