Netlet Rules

A Netlet rule maps an application that needs to run on a client machine to the corresponding destination host. This means that Netlet operates only on packets sent to ports defined in the Netlet rule. This ensures greater security.

As an administrator, you need to configure certain rules for the functioning of Netlet. These rules specify various details such as the cipher to be used, URL to invoke, the applets to be downloaded, the destination port and the destination host. When a user on a client machine makes a request through Netlet, these rules help determine how the connection must be established. See Defining Netlet Rules for details.
