Selecting Browser Access Methods for a Community

The third step in creating a community is to determine which browser access methods will be available for community members to connect to the appliance and access your network resources. For information on which access methods are compatible with your users’ environments, see User Access Components.

To specify the browser access methods available to community members

  1. In the AMC, navigate to User Access > Realms.

  2. Click the link for the community you want to configure.

  3. Click the Browser Access tab.

  4. Select the access methods community members can use with a browser to connect to resources on your network. Based on the capabilities of the user's system, the appliance activates the access agents you have selected. For information on the capabilities and system requirements of the various access agents, see User Access Components and Services.

  5. If you want to provide network tunnel client access to members of a community, select a combination of the following:

    • In the Tunnel (IP Protocol) section, select Network tunnel client (OnDemand). You can use a built-in resource and shortcut if you want users to download the Connect Tunnel client and activate it from a link in WorkPlace.
    • For Web-based proxy access, in the Port-Mapping/Redirection (TCP Protocol) section, select Browser based application proxy (OnDemand).
    • In the Reverse Proxy (HTTP) section, Translated Web access is always selected. This provides clientless access to Web resources that are mapped to custom ports or custom FQDNs for improved application compatibility or that use aliases to obscure internal host names. See Web Access for information about the different types of Web access, and see Adding Resources for information about adding Web-based resources.
  6. Select the required option to specify the SEM update policy on the client device when a newer version is available and enable Notify the user when installing or updating client software checkbox if you to show or hide user notification when an SEM installation or update is about to start.
  7. Click Save.
