No WI box involved.  From a Juniper session you can connect direct to
published apps.  Once you are inside running say word using a Hyperlink you
can open IE.  Using that IE session you are on the LAN.  If all traffic does
not go via proxy (as is case now) user can run whatever internal web apps
they want (which is what we are trying to restrict).  The internal users and
external users can be the same user with the same ID.  We just want then to
be able to use IE internally with any web app but use the same servers.  We
know the IP address will be different if they are external and they use the
Java client.  That's about it.  Using clever IP based scripting would help
but the way we currently disable IE is using NTFS permissions to deny.  Reg
Hacking to disable IE.....Hmmmmnnnnn...And have to put it back for internal
users.....Ugly....

Secondary proxy server for 'external users' - on login, check the client
name - if it begins WI change their proxy server settings?

Guys
 
Have a bunch of office servers which we wish to give access to external
users using Juniper.  Essentially we just publish applications and users can
connect to a defined set of published apps via Juniper bookmarks.  They can
then run there apps just like in the office.  However we need to restrict
what they can do with IE.  For instance.  We don't mind them surfing the
internet but we need to be able to restrict the ability to run any internal
web based applications.  We want to be able to control what content with IE
they can get to when they are external.  However we would also like internal
and external users to share the same servers.  Suggestion on how we do this?
My guess is we could do some complex login scripting to detect what their IP
address is or something like that.  The user ID is the same both internal
and external and AD groups will be the same.  Any easy suggestions rather
than silo the boxes?
 
Malcolm
