Connecting to a server behind a VPN using Heroku and Ruby

I am writing an application in Ruby / RoR that will be hosted on Heroku.

One of the requirements is that it connects to the authentication server (Active Directory), which is located behind the Sonicwall VPN.

How can I set this VPN authentication using Ruby to access this server?

Heroku is just a service built on top of EC2 that manages deployment using linux env. You do not have root access on which you can connect to any service using any TCP protocol. But you can only listen to HTTP connections. Unfortunately, this precludes the configuration of VPNs and SSH tunnels. You can do it on Amazon EC2.
