To Create, Modify, or Delete a Netlet Rule

You can also create new rules or modify existing rules at the organization, role, or user levels. These rules are inherited by any new organization that you create.

1. Log onto the Portal Server administration console as administrator.

2. Select the Secure Remote Access tab and select the Netlet tab.

3. Select a DN for a user or an organization from Select DN list or add a DN.

4. Under Advanced > Netlet Rules, click New Rule.

   • To delete a rule, select a rule and click Delete.

   • To modify a rule, click the rule name.

     In the Netlet page, modify the parameters as explained the steps below.

5. Enter the rule name in the Rule Name field.

6. Select Other choose from the list of available ciphers and under Encryption Ciphers list, select one or more encryption cipher or select Default to retain the default encryption cipher.

   This is useful when using existing rules that did not include the cipher as a part of the rule. For information, see the Backward Compatibility section. For more information on ciphers, see Specify the Default Encryption Cipher.

7. Enter the URL to the application to be invoked in the Remote Application URL field.

8. Select the Client Port checkbox if an applet needs to be downloaded. Enter client port number, server host address, and server port number in the Client Port, Server Host, and Server Port field. Specify a unique local port for each rule.

   By default, the Enable Download Applet box is disabled. Specify the applet details only if the applet needs to be downloaded from a host other than the Portal Server host. For more information, see Downloading an Applet From a Remote Host.

9. Select the Enable Extend Session checkbox to ensure that the Portal Server session time is extended while the Netlet session corresponding to this rule is running.

10. Under Map Local Port to Destination Server Port, do the following:

    1. Enter the local port on which Netlet listens in the Local Port field.

       For an FTP rule, the local port value must be 30021.

    2. Enter an entry in the Destination Hosts field.

       For a static rule, enter the host name of the target machine for the Netlet connection. For a dynamic rule, enter "TARGET".

    3. Enter the port on the target host in the Destination Port field.
