Abstract

The present disclosure describes methods and systems for efficiently assigning, managing and querying virtual private network (VPN) addresses intranet IP (IIP) addresses of users, such as SSL VPN users on an enterprise network. The disclosure describes techniques and policies for assigning previously-assigned VPN addresses of a user to subsequent sessions of the user as the user logs in multiple times or roams between access points. The disclosure also describes a configurable user domain naming policy so that one can query the VPN address of a user by an easily referable host name identifying the user. The appliance and/or client agent provides techniques for applications to seamlessly and transparently communicate on the VPN using the VPN address of the user or client on the private network.
