The Juniper SSL VPN Virtual Appliance-Demo and Training Edition (VA-DTE) is a live and ready. Just download it from the Juniper web site and enjoy. And yet, it is the full Juniper SSL VPN.
A few caveats worth mentioning:
- There is a hard-coded limit of 2 concurrent users. We are still considering bumping that up to 3 at some point in the future, but we really need to see what needs emerge around that before we can make that big of a jump. I know it doesn’t seem like that that much more, but it actually is, given that for every one we add we start to creep that much more into our SA700 business. But for now, if you need to run more than 2 concurrent users, just bring up another VA-DTE and you will be all set.
- Support is provided by Juniper resellers and field sales teams. JTAC will not support this at all. The reason should be pretty clear: (a) the product is free and (b) there is no support contract available whatsoever.
- This is only available to existing customers (including all of you channel and technology partners out there). But please remember that you must already be covered under an existing support contract for the SSL VPN product before accessing these files. If you do, then you will have a valid logon that will entitle you to download this package. Otherwise, you will just need to contact your friendly Juniper reseller.
