AUTHORIZING APPLICATION ACCESS TO VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK RESOURCE

摘要

Examples of authorizing application access to a virtual private network are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may include connecting, by a computing system, electronically to a virtual private network (VPN) by sending authentication credentials, and receiving, by the computing system, a set of application policies from an application policy database in the VPN. The method may further include determining, by the computing system, whether an application running on the computing system is authorized to access resources within the VPN based on the set of application policies received from the application policy database. Additionally, the method may include enabling, by the computing system, the application to access the resources within the VPN when it is determined that the set of application policies authorizes the application to access the resources within the VPN.

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
receive a request from an application to access a resource within a virtual private network, the application having an application identifier; compare the application identifier to an application policy; and authorize the application to access the resource within the virtual private network when the application policy identifies the application identifier as being an authorized application.
