Integrating the Client with Security
Solutions
Overview
This section describes how you can integrate the client with a range of security
technologies, including proxy servers, firewalls, and Secure Sockets Layer/
Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) based systems. This section assumes you
have a working knowledge of these technologies. It describes:
• Connecting through a proxy server
• Integrating the client with the Secure Gateway or SSL Relay solutions with
SSL/TLS protocols
• Connecting to a server using alternate addressing across a firewall
Configuring the Client to Work with a Proxy Server
You can use either a SOCKS proxy or a Secure Proxy Server (also known as
Security Proxy Server, HTTPS Proxy Server, or SSL Tunneling Proxy Server).
Proxy authentication is also supported. When used with the Secure Gateway,
applications can be delivered securely to anywhere in the world by the Web. The
client can automatically detect proxy server settings from the network settings in
the client computer’s Network System Preferences.
To configure the client to work with a proxy server you can specify the default
details of your proxy server manually or detect proxy servers automatically.
Instructions on how to do this are provided in the following two sections.
Specifying the Proxy Server Manually
If you are specifying the proxy server manually, you need to know its address.
You also need to know its port number if it is not set to 1080 for a SOCKS Proxy
Server or 8080 for a Secure Proxy Server.
