Do I need the mobile access blade?

JG — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 15:11:47 GMT

This is a question that I believe I already know is no. I have mobile clients which I'm backhauling and filtering traffic to the internet via the remote secure access client. I'm using IPSEC on the client not SSL. So, in this case it's using the VPN blade to backhaul the traffic.

My question is do I need the mobile access blade on at all? I wouldn't think so because they don't work at all similarly. However, under mobile access is where I applied my certificate which is being used to authenticate the client. Is there a dependency on the mobile access blade?

I asked my vendor the easy answer is no.

I hear the answer - but it does make no sense as there is always a 5 users MAB license included...
