Access Services
The appliance uses various access services to manage the access clients and agents that users employ to connect to your network resources:
- The Network Tunnel Service is a network routing technology that provides secure network tunnel access to a wide range of applications and protocols, including non-TCP protocols such as VoIP (Voice over IP) and ICMP, reverse-connection protocols like SMS, and bi-directional protocols such as FTP. It works in conjunction with the Connect Tunnel client and the OnDemand Tunnel agent to provide authenticated and encrypted access.
- The Web Proxy Service provides users with secure access to Web-based applications and servers from a Web browser, or Web-based applications and servers from a Windows Mobile-powered device using the Mobile Connect client. The Web proxy service contains a secure HTTP reverse proxy that brokers and encrypts access to Web-based resources.
- The WorkPlace Service controls access to WorkPlace resources accessed from a Web browser. The WorkPlace service communicates with Windows file servers and network shares (including Microsoft Distributed file system, or DFS, resources) using the Server Message Block (SMB) file-sharing protocol.
