Juniper Networks Junos Pulse 2.0 – New Features

Additional Split Tunneling Options

Junos Pulse 2.0 (for Microsoft Windows) introduces additional split tunneling options, allowing cu stomers to set
policies controlling the traffic behavior from the remote user’s Microsoft Windows PC to the SA Series SSL VPN. The
additional split tunneling options in Junos Pulse 2.0 for Windows enable customers to apply the same breadth of split
tunneling options available in Network Connect to Junos Pulse.

The enhanced split tunneling options in Junos Pulse 2.0 include the following co nfiguration options:

• Enable or Disable Split Tunneling: This option allows the administrator to either enable or disable split

tunneling.

• Overriding Routes: This option allows the administrator to override any conflicting routes in the system

routing table. When this option is enabled, Junos Pulse will check the system routing table for any routes that
conflict with the routes set up for the Junos Pulse virtual adapter. If there are any conflicting routes, those
routes are removed until the Junos Pulse SSL VPN session is up and running. When the SSL VPN session is
terminated, Junos Pulse restores the conflicting system routes.

• Monitoring Routes: This option allows the administrator to regularly monitor the system routing table for

conflicts and to ensure that the split tunneling configuration enabled in Junos Pulse is adhered to throughout
the duration of the SSL VPN session. When this option is enabled, Junos Pulse monitors the system routing
table in real-time and takes action when newly installed applications or programs modify the system routes,
potentially creating conflicts.

Junos Pulse 2.0 delivers split tunneling option parity with Network Connect, allowing Enterprises and Service
Providers to customize split tunneling behavior for end users, connecting to their SA Series SSL VPN gateways.

Compatible with:

SA Series SSL VPN 7.1

Ability to Run Administrator-Configured Scripts

Junos Pulse 2.0 (for Microsoft Windows) introduces the ability for an administrator to run custom scripts either at the
time when a user session is established or torn down. The administrator could configure such scripts to run either for
a VPN session to the SA Series SSL VPN gateway, or for a UAC session to the IC Series UAC gateway.

When this feature is configured, Junos Pulse copies over the script file to the local file system and executes the script
either at the time of establishing a user session or when the session is terminated.

The benefits of administrator-configured scripts include allowing an administrator to execute cu stom settings on a
user’s desktop either when the SA Series SSL VPN or UAC session is established; or when the SA Series SSL VPN
or UAC session is torn down. Examples of administrator-configured script options include the configuration of a
default printer, or of other local settings.

Compatible with:

SA Series SSL VPN 7.1
IC Series UAC 4.1
