Configuring Application Access

The following sections provide information about configuring application access:
Downloading the Port-Forwarding Applet Automatically
Closing Application Access to Prevent hosts File Errors
Recovering from hosts File Errors When Using Application Access
Downloading the Port-Forwarding Applet Automatically
To run a remote application over WebVPN, a user clicks Start Application Access on the WebVPN
homepage to download and start a port-forwarding Java applet. To simplify application access and
shorten start time, you can configure WebVPN to automatically download this port-forwarding applet
when the user first logs in to WebVPN.
To enable automatic download of the port-forwarding applet, enter the functions command in webvpn
mode using the auto-download option.
Before you configure the auto-download feature, you must first enable an application that uses the
Note
applet: port forwarding, Outlook/Exchange proxy, or HTTP proxy.
Closing Application Access to Prevent hosts File Errors
To prevent hosts file errors that can interfere with Application Access, close the Application Access
window properly when you finish using Application Access. To do so, click the close icon.
