Measures reported by FgFnSslVpnTest
Remote users access the corporate network using an SSL VPN, connecting either by web mode using a web browser or tunnel mode using FortiClient.
If the SSL VPN is misconfigured or does not function as expected, then, remote users could not login to the corporate network. This would in turn affect the productivity of the users who work from home, affect the users who would need critical information available only on the corporate network etc. Therefore it is necessary to monitor the SSL VPN of the FortiGate firewall round the clock. The FgFnSslVpnTest test helps administrators on this regard!
Using this test administrators can figure out the current status of the SSL VPN. In addition, administrators can also figure out the users who are active on the SSL VPN using the web mode and tunnel mode. The sessions that were initiated by the users on the SSL VPN through the web mode and tunnel mode can also be tracked besides tracking the maximum number of users and sessions on the SSL VPN. This way, abnormalities can be detected and preemptive measures can be initiated before users face issuesin accessing the corporate network.
