Is APM the firepass replacement?

If so, will Linux guests be able to VPN connect?

  • Hi Joseph,

     

    Yes APM has effectively been adopted as the FirePass replacement.

  • it is with some exceptions, be sure to clearly detail what you use your firepass for before you get into APM.

     

    for example web access to file shares is missing.
