Deployment
Deployment is straightforward: the Ericom AccessNow Server is installed on the RDP host to allow connection from the remote client.
For internet facing deployments (to allow access from outside your firewall). The Ericom Secure Web Gateway can be installed in your DMZ to manage authentication and routing to control access to the Ericom AccessNow server(s) to present your applications for remote users. The firewall is configured to forward remote AccessNow user access to the secure web gateway.
No client software is required at all, just an HTML5 compatible browser such as the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari etc.. Users access the Secure Gateway by browsing to the designated URL. No need for a local RDP client, nor for the RDP ports to be open on your firewall.
