The Remote Network Access template is a unique application too, as it actually represents two distinct technologies in one. When you add this application to the portal, there's nothing to configure, other than its name and endpoint policy settings. When clicked in the portal homepage, it will launch either the Network Connector (NC) or the Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP), which are available depending on the user's operating system.
Although the Add Application Wizard asks you for some technical details, there is actually nothing to configure—just leave the defaults as they are, and configure the appearance of the application, if you so desire. However, adding the Remote Network Access application to the portal applications list is not enough, in order for any of these two applications—NC and SSTP—to be available to your end users, you also need to configure their server side settings.
The next sections discuss these two connectivity technologies in detail.
