This section lists some of the best practices you can adopt while administering Proxylet in your environment.
Use the following procedure to add the application URLs to the Proxylet console.
Login to psconsole.
From Manage Channels and Containers for Proxylet, select theAppurls link.
Click the New Property button, and select a string type.
Enter a short name for the URL in the Name field and the actual URL in the Value field. Application URLs override the default settings.
You can choose to deploy Proxylet for the entire enterprise domain which completely eliminates the need to use Rewriter or use Proxylet only for applications that cannot be configured using the Rewriter.
Option 1 — Deploying Proxylet in an Enterprise Domain
Add a rule to the Proxylet Rules field for enterprise domain. For example, enterprise domain: proxylethost: proxyletport. The Proxylet channel displays a link.
Launch Proxylet by default. Clicking the link downloads Proxylet and reloads the portal desktop page. Using the rules defined in Step 1, the portal desktop page is displayed through the Proxylet.
Option 2 — Deploying Proxylet for Selected Applications
Add multiple rules to the Proxylet Rules field for each of the application domain and sub-domain. For example, application domain:proxylethost:proxyletport.
Add application URLs to the appurls collection property of Proxylet Channel properties.
The Proxylet channel displays the application URLs.
Click any one of the URLs to download the Proxylet and redirect the browser to the selected application.
From the psconsole, use the Custom PAC file field to write a customized PAC file logic that is appropriate to your working environment. Proxylet configures the end users browser with the custom PAC file. If the custom PAC file is configured, then the Rule field is ignored.
You can use a customized launch pad for starting applications instead of using the Proxylet Channel. The format of the URL is as follows:
Proxylet Servlet URL?
command=loadApp or loadJWSApp
&followUp=Application URL
&portalurl=portalserver desktop URL
&propertyfile=name of property file
