Netlet Service

Netlet Rules 

Choose to add or delete a rule. 

If you add a rule, the following nine attributes are necessary: 

--Rule Name 

Specifies a unique name for the rule. 

--Encryption Ciphers 

Specifies the required ciphers. 

--URL 

Specifies the URL to the application to be invoked. 

--Download Applet 

Specifies if an applet needs to be downloaded. If an applet is used, the syntax in the associated edit box is: 

local-port:server-host:server-port 

--Extend Session 

Ensures that the Portal Server session time is extended while the Netlet session corresponding to this rule is running. 

--Map Local Port to Destination Server Port 

Specifies local port, target host and target ports. After entering those values (in the next three rows of this table), click add to make them appear in the list. 

--Local Port 

Specifies the local port on which Netlet listens. For an FTP rule, the local port value must be 30021. 

--Destination Hosts 

Static rules contain the host name of the destination machine for the Netlet connection. 

Dynamic rules contain the word "TARGET". 

-- Destination Ports 

Specifies the port on the destination host. 

Default Native VM Cipher 

Specifies the default cipher for the Netlet rules. This is useful when using existing rules that did not include the cipher as a part of the rule. 

Default Java Plugin Cipher 

Specifies the default cipher for the Netlet rules. This is useful when using existing rules that did not include the cipher as a part of the rule. 

Default Loopback Port 

58000 

Specifies the port to be used on the client when applets are downloaded through Netlet. The default value can be overridden in the Netlet rules. 

Reauthenticate for Connections 

Ensures that users enter the Netlet password each time a Netlet connection needs to be established. 

Display Warning Popup for Connections 

Checked 

Displays a message when the user runs the application over Netlet, and also when an intruder tries to gain access to the desktop through the listen port. 

Display Checkbox in Port Warning Dialog 

Checked 

Provides the user with the option to suppress the Warning Dialog Popup when Netlet tries to connect to the destination host on the user's standard Portal Desktop. 

Keep Alive Interval (minutes) 

0 

If the client is connecting to the Gateway through a web proxy, then idle Netlet connections are disconnected due to proxy timeout. To prevent this, give a value less than the proxy timeout for this parameter. 

Terminate Netlet at Portal Logout 

Checked 

Ensures that all connections are terminated when a user logs out of the Portal Server.
