SoftLayer - Tutorial Number Seven - Part 1 - VPN SSL Tunnelling
Channel: Eamonn Killian
Date: 11/09/2014

For tutorial seven the focus shifts to really leverage some of the strengths of SoftLayer in comparison to other Cloud vendors. In particular this video tutorial focusses on setting up your local machine (in my case a Mac) to use the VPN SSL tunnel to access the "recommended" Private IP address to administer and work with your SoftLayer infrastructure.

Part 1 takes us through using the VPN Portal and how to install Java, set the passwords, and set your browser configurations to enable the ArrayNetworks VPN client to run as a java plugin.
