Deploying Virtual Private Networks with Microsoft Windows is structured to provide a conceptual overview of not only VPNs, but also of all the other components of the authentication infrastructure, such as Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS), authentication protocols, certificate services, and Active Directory. Many companies have not implemented some of these services, so this book takes the time to explain them in a conceptually as they pertain to VPN technologies. We cover the basic operations and setup of all necessary services, and as the issues go into deeper detail, we point you toward the appropriate resources external to this book.
We start off with conceptual overviews of all of the pertinent services and components, and then we go into describing the steps of deploying both remote access VPNs for many users to access corporate resources. From there, we cover site-to-site VPNs to connect remote offices to each other over the Internet. Finally, this book describes how to troubleshoot the full architecture of VPN deployments, with both remote access and site-to-site configurations.Part I, “VPN Technology,” provides an introduction to the business case of VPNs, an overview of the two types of VPN connections—remote access and site-to-site— an overview of VPN security issues, and a discussion of interoperability issues with VPN technologies from other vendors. Part II, “VPN Deployment,” provides you with the information you need to plan and deploy your remote access or site-to-site VPN solutions. To understand how to deploy and troubleshoot VPNs, you must have an understanding of the underlying technologies and how they work. These technologies include VPN gateway services, VPN client services, authentications services and protocols (including RADIUS, and Certificate Services), Connection Manager, and Network Access Quarantine Control. Part III, “VPN Troubleshooting,” provides you with troubleshooting information and advice. VPN deployment involves the mutual operations of many different services, components, and Internet connectivity solutions, so you will need to have a defined procedure for troubleshooting the environment that enables you to identify problems quickly and easily.
