Managing Bookmarks

Step 7 For Citrix bookmarks, you can select the following options:

•Designate that it be a secure Citrix connection by selecting the HTTPS Mode checkbox.

•Select Always use Java in Internet Explorer to use Java to access the Citrix Portal when using Internet Explorer. Without this setting, a Citrix ICA client or XenApp Web plug-in (an ActiveX client) must be used with IE. This setting lets users avoid installing a Citrix ICA client or XenApp Web plug-in specifically for IE browsers. Java is used with Citrix by default on other browsers and also works with IE. Enabling this checkbox leverages this portability.

•Select Always use specified Citrix ICA Server to explicitly specify the Citrix ICA Server Address for the Citrix ICA Session.By default, the Bookmark uses the information provided in the ICA configuration provided by the Citrix server.

Step 8 For configuration information about RDP - ActiveX and RDP - Java, see the “Configuring RDP ActiveX and Java Bookmarks” section on page 118.

Step 9 For HTTP(S) bookmarks, you can select Use SSL-VPN account credentials to log in or configure custom credentials for use with Single Sign-On. To disable the use of SSO, clear the Automatically log in checkbox. Select the Forms-based Authentication checkbox to use this method, and then fill in the following fields that are exposed:

•Configure the User Form Field to be the same as the ‘name’ or ‘id’ attribute of the HTML element representing User Name in the Login form, for example:

<input type=text name=’userid’>

•Configure the Password Form Field to be the same as the ‘name’ or ‘id’ attribute of the HTML element representing Password in the Login form, for example:

<input type=password name=’PASSWORD’ id=’PASSWORD’ maxlength=128>

Step 10 For External Web Site bookmarks, select HTTPS Mode to encrypt Web communication with SSL. External Web Site bookmarks are used to access an offloaded Web site or portal using a bookmark. Select Disable security warning if you do not want a security warning dialog box to be displayed when a user clicks this bookmark. If left unchecked, the warning dialog will allow the user to select a Do not show this warning again option if the user has permissions to edit this bookmark (set above).

For more information about offloaded applications, see the Application Offloading section in the SonicWALL SSL VPN Administrator’s Guide.

Step 11 For FTP bookmarks, click Show advance server configuration to select the character encoding. You can also select Use SSL-VPN account credentials to log in or configure custom credentials for use with Single Sign-On. To disable the use of SSO, clear the Automatically log in checkbox.

Step 12 For SSHv2 bookmarks, you must have SUN JRE 1.6.0_10 or higher and must be connecting to a server that supports SSHv2. There are also options to Automatically accept host key and to Bypass username. The bypass option should only be used for SSHv2 servers that do not require authentication in the initial connection session (such as SonicWALL security appliances).

Step 13 Click Add to add the bookmark.

Once the configuration has been updated, the new bookmark will be displayed in the Virtual Office Bookmarks table. Click on a bookmark description to go to the bookmark location that you have defined.
