Access Share Folder via Remote Access SSL VPN

Nidzpar Mohammad Sali1

Hi,

Is there a way i could access the windows share folder via SSL VPN Remote access?

I already configure the VPN and our client can connect to our Head Office via SSL Remote Access. Some of the necessary services are working fine like RDP and ICMP .

Some of our staff those working in their home due to this Corona pandemic just want to connect to our network via VPN and access the share folder in windows machine.

 

Thanks and Best Regards,

Nidz

    Hey Nidz,

     

    I do this all the time but I found the VPN user / pass should be their AD credentials as that way it uses the Security on the share folder and maps fine.

    If you dont I found it didnt always map it well.

    I also added a small batch file to remap onto the users desktop so if they had logged onto the PC without being connected to the VPN they could initiate a map after connecting the VPN

    Sophos XG 450 (SFOS 18.5.1 MR-1)

    Sophos R.E.D 50 x 2

    Always configuring new stuff.....

        Hi Nidz,

        The username and password for sslVPN is one thing and the login and password for Windows participation is the other. After setting up the sslVPN channel, you can execute a mapping script on your home computer, eg: "net use R: \\ <server IP> \ SHARE / user: login password / persistent: no". For greater security, the net use command should be without the user: option, then the user will be asked for login details. If your firewall's VPN rules allow this, you should be able to access the share.

      Have you set your domain name and internal DNS server in the SSL VPN parameters? it's under Configure > VPN > Show VPN Settings. That will allow people to map drives etc using the machine name.
