Question #12
In Mobile Access VPN, clientless access is done using a web browser. The primary communication path for these browser based connections is a process that allows numerous processes to utilize port 443 and redirects traffic to a designated port of the respective process. Which daemon handles this?

The Multi-portal Daemon (MPD) is crucial for managing clientless browser-based connections in Mobile Access VPN. It efficiently utilizes port 443, a standard for HTTPS, to support multiple SSL portal requirements on the Security Gateway. By leveraging MPD, the system ensures seamless and secure client access across various portals without the need for multiple physical entry points. This capability is essential for maintaining robust security and operational efficiency within the VPN framework.
