Configuring the Core Components

Netlet enables users to securely run common TCP/IP services over insecure networks such as the Internet. You can run TCP/IP applications (such as Telnet and SMTP), HTTP applications, and any fixed port applications. If Netlet is enabled, the Gateway needs to determine whether the incoming traffic is Netlet traffic or Portal Server traffic. Disabling Netlet reduces this overhead since the Gateway assumes that all incoming traffic is either HTTP or HTTPS traffic. Disable Netlet only if you are sure you do not want to use any application with Portal Server.

To Configure the Components

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

2. Select the Secure Remote Access tab and click the profile name to modify its attributes.

3. Select the Core tab.

4. Modify the following attributes:

   Attribute Name	Description
   Netlet	Select the Enable checkbox to initiate the Netlet service. By default this option is selected.
   Proxylet	Select the Enable checkbox to initiate the Proxylet service. By default this option is selected.

5. Restart the Gateway from a terminal window using the following command options:

   ./psadmin start-sra-instance -u amadmin -f passwordfile -N profilename -t gateway
