Configuring the Secure Remote Access Attributes

Most attributes can be set using the options available under the Secure Remote Access tab in the Portal Server administration console. Any new organization or user that is created inherits these values, by default.

You can configure attributes related to Secure Remote Access at the organization, role, and user levels, with the following exceptions:

• Conflict Resolution Level cannot be set at the user level. See Setting Conflict Resolution.

• MIME types Configuration File Location attribute can be set only at the organization level.

Values set at the organization level are inherited by all roles and users under that organization. Values set at the user level override the values set at the organization or role levels.

You can make changes to the attribute values at the Service Configuration level. These new values are reflected only when new organizations are added.

You configure Secure Remote Access attributes on the Portal Server administration console using the following services:

• Access Control

  This service enables you to allow or restrict access to specific URLs and to manage the single sign-on feature. For more information, see Chapter 8, Configuring Access Control.

• Gateway

  Profiles (Gateway Instances) This service enables you to configure all Gateway related attributes such as Enabling components, cookie management, proxy management, security settings, performance tuning, rewriter mapping management. For more information, see Chapter 9, Configuring the Gateway .

• NetFile

  This service enables you to configure all NetFile related attributes such as common hosts, MIME types, and access to different types of hosts. For more information, see Chapter 10, Configuring NetFile.

• Netlet

  This service enables you to configure all Netlet related attributes such as Netlet rules, access to required rules, organizations and hosts, and the default algorithm. For more information, see Chapter 11, Configuring Netlet.

• Proxylet

The Gateway does not receive notifications for attribute changes that are made while Gateway is running. Restart Gateway to ensure that updated profile attributes (belonging to the Gateway or any other service) are used by Gateway.
