Re: Access to Library Resources from home

I recommend an SSL solution using something like Juniper. It will connect =
to any LDAP you have for credentials and the entire things is website drive=
n for the end user. The client is installed when needed via the website an=
d it is very easy for the end user. We setup a specific URL for connecting=
to our servers and it works great. Be mindful of bandwidth needs for runn=
ing with VPN. You may want to look at alternate methods to accomplish the =
same tasks.
