You can configure the GlobalProtect portal to provide secure remote access to common enterprise web applications. For best results, make sure you thoroughly test your Clientless VPN applications in a controlled environment before deploying them or making them available to a large number of users.

Supported Version
Web application technologies
  • HTML
  • HTML5
  • HTML5-Web-Sockets
  • Javascript
  • Remote desktop protocol (RDP), VNC, or SSH
    • Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Virtual Machine (VM) environments, such as Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop or VMWare Horizon and Vcenter, support access natively through HTML5. You can RDP, VNC, or SSH to these machines through Clientless VPN without requiring additional third-party middleware.
    • In environments that do not include native support for HTML5 or other web application technologies supported by Clientless VPN, you can use third-party vendors, such as HOBLink or Thinfinity, to RDP through Clientless VPN.
  • Adobe Flash—With Clientless VPN, browsers can serve content that uses Adobe Flash, Microsoft Word documents, or Adobe PDFs. However, Clientless VPN cannot rewrite HTML URLs or links within Adobe Flash, Microsoft Word documents, or Adobe PDFs, which can prevent the content from rendering correctly.
Other technologies (such as Microsoft Silverlight or XML/XSLT) are not supported.
