Gateway

The SRA Gateway provides the interface and security barrier between remote user sessions originating from the Internet and a corporate intranet. Gateway presents content securely from internal web servers and application servers through a single interface to a remote user.

Web servers use web-based resources such as HTML, JavaScript and XML to communicate between the client and Gateway. Rewriter is the Gateway component used to make web content available.

Application servers use binary protocol such as telnet and FTP to communicate between the client and Gateway. Netlet, which resides on the Gateway, is used for this purpose. See Chapter 2, Working with Gateway for more detail.
