Hello, we have VPN-enabled RRAS role on Windows Server 2008 R2 and our users (approx. about 100 users) needs access to our site -especially to one application server with 3rd party app. My question is : needs users some special CAL for VPN access?<br />
<br />
Sure, we have CAL's to &quot;user&quot; and &quot;device&quot; to accomplish licence conditions, but I don't know if I need separate CAL's for VPN access.<br />
<br />
Thanks all.

Require Windows server 2008  CAL for VPN users?

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft.
