ABSTRACT

Users connecting to a ras services, through a modem, can limited to accessing only that server, or can be access to the entire network. effectively, this is same as the local connection to the network, except that any type of data transfer runs significantly slower. you will need to select connection option appropriate to your access requirements available support, and budgetary constraints.

In the current business environment, organizations are under pressure to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and maximize performance from the existing infrastructure. The growth of the Internet, together with new global business opportunities, makes it imperative that organizations provide secure 24x7 network access to employees and locations around the world.

1. INTRODUCTION
In most networks clients are connected directly to the network. In some cases, however remote connection are needed for your users. Microsoft provides Remote Access Services to set and configure client access.

Users connecting to a ras services, through a modem, can limited to accessing only that server, or can be access to the entire network. effectively, this is same as the local connection to the network, except that any type of data transfer runs significantly slower. you will need to select connection option appropriate to your access requirements available support, and budgetary constraints.

In the current business environment, organizations are under pressure to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and maximize performance from the existing infrastructure. The growth of the Internet, together with new global business opportunities, makes it imperative that organizations provide secure 24x7 network access to employees and locations around the world.

2. TYPES OF RAS

2.1 Remote client access

Remote clients are usually single computers, such as home computers or laptops of employees who need to access enterprise resources while working at home or traveling.

2.2 Site-to-site access

Site-to-site access is used between branch offices and centralized facilities of the enterprise to access resources and data at different logical and physical locations.

Both these key remote access requirements of an enterprise organization can be provided using a VPN. Both of these solutions require the underlying presence of either a dial-up connection or an Internet (shared) leased line connection.

3. USES OF REMOTE ACCESS SERVICE

3.1 Remote Access Services Blueprint

Provides guidance for designing remote access solutions for site-tosite

network links as well as individual remote clients accessing an organization and its IT resources. The processes identified are designed to ensure that the solution is secure, scalable, and reliable.

3.2 Remote Access Services Planning

Provides a detailed analysis of the requirements and the desigchoices for providing remote access services in the CDC and SBO scenarios

3.3Remote Access Services Build

Provides build, configuration, and test guidance for the different remote access services, including the use of VPN to connect remote sites and to provide network access for remote users.

3.4 Remote Access Services Operation

Provides operations references for the remote access services discussed in WSSRA (Windows Server System Remote Architecture.)

4 . PURPOSE

Use Remote Access Service (RAS) to create client applications. These applications display RAS common dialog boxes, manage

Remote access connections and devices, and manipulate phone-book entries.

5. RUN TIME REQUIREMENTS

5.1 Hardware Requirements
There are so many hardware used in Remote access service. but some of them are:1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Dial-in-modem Frame relay ISDN DSL VPN SSH Cable modem

5.2 Software Requirements

The RAS API is designed for use by C/C++ programmers. Microsoft Visual Basic programmers may also find the API useful. Programmers should be familiar with networking concepts. Some of the functions in the RAS API are supported only on network servers and other functions are supported only on network clients. For more specific information about which operating systems support a particular function, refer to the Requirements sections in documentation:-

5.3 RAS Common Dialog Boxes

Windows provides a set of functions that display the RAS dialog boxes provided by the system. These functions make it easy for applications to display a familiar user interface so that users can perform RAS tasks. For example, users can establish and monitor connections, or work with phone-book entries. Windows 95 does not currently support these functions. The RasPhonebookDlg function displays the main Dial-Up Networking dialog box. From this dialog box, the user can dial, edit, or delete a selected phonebook entry, create a new phone-book entry, or specify user preferences. The RasPhonebookDlg function uses the RASPBDLG structure to specify additional input and output parameters. For example, you can set members of the structure to control the position of the dialog box on the screen. You can use the RASPBDLG structure to specify a RasPBDlgFunc callback function that receives notifications of user activity while the dialog box is open. For example, RAS calls your RasPBDlgFunc function if the user dials, edits, creates, or deletes a phone-book entry.

You can use the RasDialDlg function to start a RAS connection operation without displaying the main Dial-Up Networking dialog box. With RasDialDlg, you specify a phone number or phone-book entry to call. The function displays a stream of dialog boxes that indicate the state of the connection operation. The RasDialDlg function uses a RASDIALDLG structure to specify additional input

and output parameters, such as position of the dialog box and the phone-book subentry to call.

5.4 Linking to the Remote Access DLL

If an application links statically to the RASAPI32 DLL, the application will fail to load if Remote Access Service is not installed. A RAS application can load when RAS is not installed by using LoadLibrary to load the DLL, and GetProcAddress to obtain pointers to the RAS functions. The RAS functions are located in RASAPI32.DLL. The import library for these functions is RASAPI32.LIB. To use the RAS functions, your programs must include the following files: File RAS.H RASERROR.H Description Contains the RAS function prototypes, constants, and structure definitions. Contains the RAS error codes.

5.5 RASCONNSTATE
The RASCONNSTATE enumeration type contains values that specify the states that can occur during a RAS connection operation. If the RasDial function is used to establish a RAS connection, specify a window, or a RasDialFunc, RasDialFunc1, or RasDialFunc2 callback function to receive notification messages that report the current connection state..

typedef enum _RASCONNSTATE { RASCS_OpenPort = 0, RASCS_PortOpened, RASCS_ConnectDevice, RASCS_DeviceConnected, RASCS_AllDevicesConnected, RASCS_Authenticate, RASCS_AuthNotify, RASCS_AuthRetry, RASCS_AuthCallback, RASCS_AuthChangePassword, RASCS_AuthProject, RASCS_AuthLinkSpeed, RASCS_AuthAck, RASCS_ReAuthenticate, RASCS_Authenticated, RASCS_PrepareForCallback, RASCS_WaitForModemReset, RASCS_WaitForCallback, RASCS_Projected,

#if (WINVER >= 0x400) RASCS_StartAuthentication, RASCS_CallbackComplete, RASCS_LogonNetwork, #endif RASCS_SubEntryConnected, RASCS_SubEntryDisconnected, RASCS_Interactive = RASCS_PAUSED, RASCS_RetryAuthentication, RASCS_CallbackSetByCaller, RASCS_PasswordExpired, #if (WINVER >= 0x500) RASCS_InvokeEapUI, #endif RASCS_Connected = RASCS_DONE, RASCS_Disconnected } RASCONNSTATE ; // Windows 95 only // Windows 95 only // Windows 95 only

5.6 BLUEPRINT
This blueprint provides comprehensive design guidance on remote access solutions that enable individual remote clients to access an organization's IT resources. Many organizations provide direct modem-based dial-up capability to the office for remote users or dedicated leased line connections between different locations; such remote access is not addressed in this release of Windows Server System Reference Architecture (WSSRA). This blueprint provides design guidance for enabling remote access from network sites and individual remote clients to an enterprise organization and its IT resources.

5.7 VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN)

A virtual private network (VPN) is a secure encrypted connection between two endpoints that is established over a shared connection such as the Internet and used as an extension of an enterprise network. VPN enables the enterprise to use the existing global Internet infrastructure by simply connecting an office or user to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). VPN is also an extensible technology; for example, Voice over IP (VoIP) can be implemented to allow remote users to use their office telephone extension (with all of its messaging capabilities) wherever they may be workat the time. VPNs provide many technical and economic benefits over the traditional.

6. REMOTE CLIENT ACCESS

Remote client access to enterprise IT resources, for small remote offices and traveling users, can be provided using the following options:

Option 1Dial-up Remote Access A dial-up remote access connection comprises remote access clients, a remote access server (RAS), and some telecommunication infrastructure (typically, an analog phone line). A remote client uses the telecommunication infrastructure to create a temporary physical or virtual circuit to a port on the RAS. After the circuit is created, the connection parameters are set. If RAS and remote access clients are not located in a local telecommunication boundary, incremental long distance charges are incurred. Even though it has limited scalability, this solution is good for corporations that have a low requirement for remote access.

Option 2VPN Remote Access A VPN remote access connection between a user and the enterprise data center consists of a VPN client, a VPN device or server, and the Internet. When a client accesses the Internet through a local ISP, a virtual point-to-point connection is created with a RAS acting as the VPN server. Once this connection is created, the parameters for the VPN connection can be set and a VPN tunnel established with the VPN device or server to access enterprise resources. In this case, the client is not required to dial long distance.

7 . APPLICATIONS

The Remote Access Service is applicable in any computing environment that uses a Wide Area Network (WAN) link or a Virtual Private Network (VPN). RAS makes it possible to connect a remote client computer to a network server over a WAN link or a VPN. The remote computer then functions on the server's LAN as though the remote computer was connected to the LAN directly. The RAS API enables programmers to access the features of RAS programmatically.

8.CONCLUSION

Remote Access Service solution or a site-to-site linking of networks over a WAN. The primary method discussed for achieving this was the use of VPNs, and blueprints which can provide a secure and flexible solution for the enterprise.
