ABSTRACT:
A secure socket layer virtual private network (SSL VPN) network appliance includes a set of virtual systems having respective context information. Each of the virtual systems represents a VPN for a different subscriber network. The network appliance includes a network interface to receive a first network communication associated with a first one of the virtual systems. In response to the network communication, the SSL VPN network appliance sets a context identifier that identifies the first one of the virtual systems. The network appliance further comprises a set of VPN software processes executing on the network appliance to process the first network communication, wherein the set of VPN software processes generate data access requests. A configuration access application programming interface (API) dynamically directs the data access requests from the VPN software processes to the first one of the virtual systems based on the context identifier.
