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:
1 Create the plugins.html file, with a link to the JRE installer that you want.
Redirect clients to different sites, depending on their
group membership (deptA or deptB).
Linktext (static text) entry:
<script>if ("<var:group>" ==
"deptA") { location.replace
("https://nsnas.example.com/http/
inside.example.com/deptA.html");}
else if ("<var:group>" == "deptB")
{ location.replace
("https://nsnas.example.com/http/in
side.example.com/deptB.html");}
</script>
Insert a link on the internal site for the client to log
off from the portal.
Link:
<a href=https://nsnas.example.com/
logout.yaws> Logout from portal
</a>
