Sun Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access 7.2 Administration Guide

Netlet Applet

The Netlet applet is responsible for setting up an encrypted TCP/IP tunnel between the remote client machine and intranet applications such as Telnet, Graphon or Citrix. The applet encrypts the packets and sends them to the Gateway, and decrypts the response packets from the Gateway and sends them to the local application.

For static rules the Netlet applet is downloaded automatically when the user logs into the portal. For dynamic rules, the applet is downloaded when the user clicks on the link corresponding to the dynamic rule. See Types of Rules for details on static and dynamic rules.

To run Netlet in a Sun Ray Environment, see Running Netlet in a Sun Ray Environment.
