Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are provided for controlling access to a network. An access request is received from a client application running on a computing device for accessing a remote network. The access request is received over a secure virtual private network (VPN) connection established by a user-mode VPN client running in non-privileged user space of the computing device. The access request includes contextual information for use in authenticating a user to access a remote network, wherein the contextual information includes contextual information about the client application requesting access to the remote network. An authentication process is performed using the contextual information to authenticate the user, and a secure VPN connection is established between the client application and the remote network, if the user is authenticated.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for controlling access to a virtual private network (VPN), comprising: receiving, by a gateway server, an access request from a user-mode VPN client of a user-mode VPN enabled client application running in non-privileged user space on a computing device for accessing a remote virtual private network, wherein the access request is received by the gateway server over a secure VPN connection that is established by the user-mode VPN client of the clien…
