Hi!
I am trying to understand the variosu options for mobility for a Jabber on IPAD user when away from the office.
Found this:
1.) Cisco Jabber secure connect enables users who are away from the office Wi-Fi network to easily remain connected to corporate resources. When deployed together with the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance, the end user connectivity experience is secure, transparent, and friendly to today's proliferation of individually purchased mobile devices. When needed, the Cisco Jabber application - rather than the entire device or platform - initiates a secure Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection and validates the user credentials (whether authentication, authorization, and accounting [AAA] or digital certificates). Also, when the user returns to the office network, the Cisco Jabber application detects that the SSL tunnel is no longer required and breaks the tunnel down. Only application traffic from the Cisco Jabber application will traverse the enterprise, and other applications will not access corporate networks.
2) The Cisco AnyConnect™ solution is also a supported method of remote access, providing customers with multiple deployment options. When Cisco AnyConnect technology is used, all applications on the device will access the corporate network. Also, this technology is a separately distributed, configured, and operated application. The Cisco Jabber application does not control when Cisco AnyConnect technology is enabled or disabled. In this way, the Cisco Jabber application with integrated secure connectivity simplifies both the end user experience and the management and deployment effort
My questions:
1. I have heard rumors however that the Cisco Jabber secure connect will be discontinued, is that correct?
2. If the customer does not have Cisco's ASA FW, what are then the options? Could they continue to run another non- CIsco remote vpn client and then launch Jabber?
Many thanks in advance!
Anna
