Abstract
A request of a VPN client to connect to a second set of one or more networks is received by a first VPN server associated with a first set of one or more networks. The request comprises an identifier of the VPN client, an attestation of an access control server that the VPN client complies with a compliance profile required to access the second set of one or more networks, and a digital signature of the access control server. The digital signature is validated using a public key of the access control server. One or more common networks each included in both the first and second sets of networks are identified. A firewall of the first VPN server is modified to permit the VPN client to connect to the one or more common networks.
