5.2.6 Adding a client program to be started for the new service
Clients are local applications that may be launched when a related service is clicked. To add to the pool of
client programs:
1.
Select
Edit > Preferences
and click the
Client

2.
Enter a
Name
for the client. Enter the
Path
to the executable file for the client (or click
Browse
to

3.
Enter a
Command Line
associated with launching the client application. SDT Connector launches
a client using command line arguments to point it at the local endpoint of the redirection. There
are three special keywords for specifying the command line format. When launching the client,
SDT Connector substitutes these keywords with the appropriate values:
%path% is path to the executable file, i.e. the previous field.
%host% is the local address to which the local endpoint of the redirection is bound, i.e. the Local
Address field for the Service redirection Advanced options.
%port% is the local port to which the local endpoint of the redirection is bound, i.e. the Local TCP
Port field for the Service redirection Advanced options. If this port is unspecified (i.e.
Any
), the
appropriate randomly selected port is substituted.
For example, SDT Connector is preconfigured for Windows installations with a HTTP service client that
connects with whichever local browser the local Windows user has configured as the default. Otherwise
the default browser used is Firefox:
