300-730 Question #76: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B: Clientless. Clientless SSL VPN (also called WebVPN) operates entirely through a standard web browser using HTTPS - no software installation is required on the endpoint. Users authenticate through a web portal and can access internal web-based services, file shares, and proxied applications.

Question

A network engineer must design a remote access solution to allow contractors to access internal services. These contractors do not have permissions to install applications on their computers. Which VPN solution should be used in this design?

Options

AIKEv2 AnyConnect
BClientless
CPort forwarding
DSSL AnyConnect

Explanation

Clientless SSL VPN (also called WebVPN) operates entirely through a standard web browser using HTTPS - no software installation is required on the endpoint. Users authenticate through a web portal and can access internal web-based services, file shares, and proxied applications. This makes it ideal for contractors or managed devices where installing software is prohibited. In contrast, Cisco AnyConnect (both IKEv2 and SSL variants) requires installing the AnyConnect client application on the user's device, which contractors in this scenario are not permitted to do. Port forwarding is a sub-feature within clientless VPN for TCP-based application access and still requires a Java applet or ActiveX plug-in rather than a standalone client.
