help Aruba VIA FAQ

Can Aruba VIA be used to connect to a corporate network from a mobile phone or tablet?

Yes, Aruba VIA (Virtual Intranet Access) is designed as a software-based VPN client that supports a wide range of mobile devices. It is available for download on both iOS and Android platforms, ensuring remote workers can connect securely from anywhere. The app automatically connects and disconnects based on your location and internal corporate policies.

Does Aruba VIA require the user to manually connect to the VPN every time they turn on their computer?

No, one of the main features of Aruba VIA is its ability to establish an 'always-on' VPN connection automatically. Once configured by the IT administrator, the client will seamlessly establish a secure connection in the background whenever the device has internet access. This ensures that remote devices are always compliant with corporate security policies without relying on user intervention.

What backend hardware or controllers are required to run Aruba VIA in an enterprise environment?

Aruba VIA requires an Aruba Mobility Controller or an Aruba Cloud Services Gateway in the corporate data center to terminate the VPN tunnels. The VIA client on the user's laptop communicates directly with these Aruba controllers to authenticate and route traffic. It is deeply integrated into the broader Aruba network security architecture.

Does Aruba VIA support modern authentication methods like SAML or Single Sign-On (SSO)?

Yes, Aruba VIA fully integrates with enterprise identity management systems to support Single Sign-On (SSO) and SAML-based authentication. This allows users to log in using their standard corporate Active Directory credentials without needing a separate, complex password for the VPN. It also supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) to ensure remote access remains highly secure.
