459 Enabling remote access with clientless VPN
Identifying resources with URLs
Using Telnet sessions
Th security gateway supports remote logon from the user interface to other computers using Telnet
sessions. Telnet is a basic resource that lets administrators control the specific hosts (for example,
computer) that the user can access. Telnet uses the following syntax:
protocol://hostname:port
The protocol is always telnet. The host name is either the fully qualified domain name or the IP
address of the host computer. The port is optional; only specify a port if it is different than the default
Telnet port, 23.
The following table shows an example of a Telnet URL for a Telnet resource on an intranet server.
TCP port forwarding
The security gateway supports TCP/IP port forwarding. This feature lets users connect to any TCP/IP
resource (for example, application/applet) behind the security gateway without reconfiguring the
application client.
The TCP/IP port forwarding feature changes the host files on the end-user’s computer. Therefore, only
users who have permission to modify the host files on their computer (client) can access TCP
resources. The following clients can access TCP resources using clientless VPN:
■
Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP with FAT or FAT derivative partitions
■
Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP with administrator rights and NTFS
■
Apple MAC OS X
Any resource link can be configured on a portal page to automatically start when the user signs on.
Autostart is particularly useful for mail applications.
See “Autostarting resources” on page 16.
TCP/IP resources use the following syntax:
protocol://hostname:port
The following table shows an example of TCP resource on an internal server.
