Backward Compatibility
Earlier versions of Portal Server did not support ciphers as part of
the Netlet rules. For backward compatibility with existing rules without ciphers,
a default cipher is used by the rules. An existing rule without ciphers such
as:
Rule Name
|
Encryption Cipher
|
Remote Application URL
|
Enable Download Applet
|
Enable Extend Session
|
Map Local Port to Destination Server Port
|
Telnet
|
|
telnet://localhost:30000
|
Do not select checkbox
|
Select checkbox
|
-
Local Port: 30000
-
Destination Host: TARGET
-
Destination Port: 23
|
is interpreted as:
Rule Name
|
Encryption Cipher
|
Remote Application URL
|
Enable Download Applet
|
Enable Extend Session
|
Map Local Port to Destination Server Port
|
Telnet
|
Default ciphers
|
telnet://localhost:30000
|
Do not select checkbox
|
Select checkbox
|
-
Local Port: 30000
-
Destination Host: TARGET
-
Destination Port: 23
|
This is similar to an Administrator Configured Rule with the Encryption
cipher field chosen as Default.
Note – Netlet rules cannot contain any port number higher than 64000.
