Adding an application server

To add a server to access resources other than web-based resources, click on Add and enter the following fields:

Server configuration

Name of the application server 
  • Indicate a name for this server (the field cannot be left empty. Allowed characters: numbers, letters, spaces, -, _, and dots.)
    		•
    Destination server Select or create the object representing the server that the user will be able to access.
    Port Select or create the object corresponding to the port over which the user can access the server.

    User workstation settings

    Listening IP address (local) Local address of the client.
    Port The JAVA applet uses this port, located on the remote workstation, to redirect encrypted traffic going to the Stormshield Network Firewall.
    The user must possess certain privileges on this port (to open it, for example), therefore make sure that the host’s local administration rights are modified as well. Also, the specified port must be free on all hosts wishing to connect to the associated server via the portal.

    Advanced configuration

    Enable Citrix compatibility Enables compatibility with the Citrix web authentication portal and access via the web browser. This option is useless if the Citrix fat client is used.
    Command executed at startup This command, which is executed when the server is launched, allows the administrator to define actions to perform before displaying the server. For example, this command may execute  a script (installed on a server) that will check the activity of the antivirus installed on the user’s host before granting him access to the server.
