15.3 Configuring SSL VPN to Download the Java Applet on Internet Explorer

The SSL VPN client components are downloaded on the client machine through a Java applet or through ActiveX, depending on the browsers they use. The Internet Explorer browser uses the ActiveX control by default to download the SSL VPN client components. However, some Windows clients do not allow ActiveX controls to run in the Internet Explorer.

In such scenarios, the you can force the Windows client to load Java applet instead of ActiveX controls.

  1. In the Administration Console, click Devices > SSL VPNs > Edit.

  2. Select Client Policies from the policies section.

  3. Select Force JRE for all Clients Using Internet Browser.

  4. To save your modifications, click OK, then click Update on the Configuration page.
