Managing the end user experience

Nortel recommends that you consider the following ways in which you can manage the end user’s experience:

•“Automatic JRE upload” on page 397

•“Windows domain logon script” on page 398

Automatic JRE upload

The Nortel SNAS 4050 portal requires the client device to be running a minimum version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in order for the TunnelGuard applet to load properly. Nortel recommends adding the required JRE version and plugins.html as custom content to the portal. In this way, if the client does not meet the Java requirement and TunnelGuard does not load, the client will be presented with a logon screen to automatically download and install the required JRE.

To configure the portal to automate the process of updating the client’s JRE version, perform the following steps:

1Create the plugins.html file, with a link to the JRE installer that you want.
