DESCRIPTION:
EX-SSLVPN: Unable to use Explorer view in Sharepoint through Translation

RESOLUTION:

Question:

We are unable to use the Explorer view which is a feature used in the Sharepoint portal. While accessing the sharepoint resource through the SonicWall

Sharepoint resource through the Translation Access method.

Resolution/Workaround:

The Explorer View feature that is included with Windows SharePoint Services and is also available in Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server lets users access files
stored in the SharePoint database using the familiar Windows Explorer interface. To the end user, this appears to be a very simple and robust feature. In
reality, it is the result of a complex series of interactions between many individual components provided by separate Microsoft products.

The Explorer View is a feature of Windows SharePoint Services that allows you to access a document library as if you were manipulating a file system through a Windows Explorer window. This functionality leverages a feature of Internet Explorer known as the Web Folder Behaviors.

With the workplace being accessed through the browser and this being a limitation due to the share point that the application breaks while we try to use th explorer view.
