Hello,
First of all, thanks for taking the time to find and read this blog! I am Kevin Peterson, Sr. Product Manager at Juniper Networks for the SSL VPN product line, and this site is just my little gift back to all of those that share the same passion for security and the Juniper Secure Access products.
The purpose of this blog is to provide an effective means to communicate pretty much anything related to the SSL VPN space from the seemingly insignificant to the strategically important. Being a product manager for the SSL VPN and having worked with the product since 2002, I am well positioned to share thoughts and ideas that just don’t make it into other forums.
But on a day-to-day basis, this blog is more about just reaching out to all those who share the same passion and seek the same deep thoughts. Here’s a brief overview of the high-value updates you can expect:
- Product Updates: I’m not going to blast out a bunch of marketing fluff or updates every time a new software update is posted on the download site. I don’t have the time for it, the content exists elsewhere, and I don’t think that’s what you want to read about here. Instead, this the product updates will be much deeper, such as providing deeper insight as to why we implemented a feature in a certain way.
- Competitive Analysis: No, I’m not going to bash competitors or go on and on about success stories. Often times there are just things that come up in a competitive setting that scream to be shared, especially when they might offer deep insight into key security decisions or provide alternative solutions that might seem to be hidden to all but the most experienced admins.
- Community: As the product continues to grow, it’s increasingly important to have a community of voices that extends well beyond “major accounts”. Hearing customers of all shapes and sizes and then sharing the most current information available is just more of what makes this product so much fun for me personally, and I’m sure for you as well.

Kevin nice site! Answered the questions I was going to ask about Pulse and its release date although on the Pulse note.. WX client will it run on both 32 and x64 Windows? About to throw some clients over onto it now! Also if anyone else here wants to learn these things in depth i suggest doing your JNCIS-SSL it covers more than I even knew these things could do
The WX client piece hooks right into Pulse, which runs on both 32 and 64 bit Windows.
Ah thanks for that! Also the inbuilt RDP applet rocks in 7
Hi Kevin,
Nice site, Thanks for your sharing. We are very excited about Iphone Pulse client. We will have lots of project here in TURKEY about ıphone integrated juniper SA series devices.
Can you implement split tunneling with SVW?
Greg – You actually just implement split tunneling with Network Connect (NC) or Pulse. SVW then runs as a separate process on top of Windows to provide additional protection. Worth noting, however, is that SVW and layer 3 VPN (NC or Pulse) are rarely found running together in production systems as SVW is best served securing kiosks rather than trusted devices that require full VPN access. Of course they can run together, it’s just not a typical scenario that many adminstrators are comfortable supporting.
Hi Kevin,
I found out that Pulse is not supported on IVS.
Any reason for that ? will this limit be removed in the near future?
Thanks in advance.

Pulse mobile using the Network Connect profile will work. What is not supported is the full Pulse client on Windows, which includes several features related to other use cases (UAC) that can not be virtualized on the server side in the near term. Plus IVS is quickly giving way to the much more capable virtual appliance offering, with future generations of hardware not including the legacy IVS feature. Should you want to move from IVS to virtual appliances, just let your sales team know and they can put together a pretty compelling migration offer.
Hi Kevin,
I would like to know if a symbian version of Pulse is still foreseen for nokia phones.
If the answer is positive, when is it scheduled ?
I do thank you very much in advance for your answer.
Nice site with a lot of news !

There is an active project to enable L3 support for Symbian, but nothing that can be 100% committed to at the moment.
