Firewall support
Note: You must remember this password, for there is no way of retrieving a lost password,
and the profile cannot then be deleted at a later stage. (A blank password or a password
consisting of spaces alone will not be considered for a password, and the profile will be
marked as not having a password.)
Changing your password
Select the profile, and then click Edit to change the password for the profile. This brings
up the Edit Profile dialog.
You will need to know the current password in order to change your password.
Deleting a profile
Select the profile, and then click Delete to delete a profile. You are then prompted to
confirm the deletion of the profile.
If the selected profile is password protected, you are then prompted to enter the password.
Firewall support
In VEA, the client connects to the server using a specific port number: 2148. In order to
connect to the server through a firewall, a port on the firewall is mapped to the 2148 port
of the VEA server.
When the client wishes to connect to the server through the firewall, it needs to specify the
host and port in the following format.
Firewallhost:port
where:
Firewallhost is the name or IP address of the firewall.
port is the port on the firewall that is internally mapped to the VEA server.
When the client connects to the server, the VEA client displays the host name (server
name) that it connected to, and not the firewall-port combination in the list of connected
hosts. The host name is also displayed in the history and favorites nodes. The firewall and
port information is stored in the user profile (wallet) and is used for subsequent
connections to the same server. The firewall-port combination is displayed only in the
connection dialog.
