6.2.7 Adding a client program to be started for the new service
Clients are local applications that may be launched when a related service is clicked. To add to the pool
of client programs:
Select Edit: Preferences and click the Client tab. Click Add
Enter a Name for the client. Enter the Path to the executable file for the client (or click Browse
to locate the executable)
Enter a Command Line associated with launching the client application. SDT Connector typically
launches a client using command line arguments to point it to the local endpoint of the
redirection. There are three special keywords for specifying the command line format. When
launching the client, SDT Connector substitutes these keywords with the appropriate values:
%path% is path to the executable file, i.e. the previous field.
%host% is the local address to which the local endpoint of the redirection is bound, i.e. the Local
Address field for the Service redirection Advanced options.
%port% is the local port to which the local endpoint of the redirection is bound, i.e. the Local
TCP Port field for the Service redirection Advanced options. If this port is unspecified (i.e. "Any"),
the appropriate randomly selected port will be substituted.
For example, SDT Connector is preconfigured for Windows installations with a HTTP service client that
will connect with whichever local browser the local Windows user has configured as the default.
Otherwise the default browser used is Firefox:
