Hello All I am running some systems which more often than not are supported by contractors outside the country. For some of my contractors,i have site-to-site VPNs with them. The trouble i have is i do not want to have a site-to-site VPN because it is always up. Does anybody know how one can have an on-demand VPN when needed. ie incase a contractor needs to login and do a patch,they inform me what time they want to login;then i allow them at that particular time. Any ideas are welcome Regards

Cisco ASA supports this kind of VPN service - a VPN concentrator for roaming users. All you have to do is to configure it, create the usernames/passwords, then when needed you assign them a password, which you change immediately they are done suporting you:) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
Look at remote access VPN's, as pointed by Wash you can even have the account authenticated via AD. ./TheMburu On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 6:01 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:
