Reflection for the Web 12.3 SP1

Reflection for the Web provides user access to web-based terminal emulation sessions that connect to host applications located inside or outside of the firewall. Applets are downloaded to each user’s workstation as needed and are cached locally for faster performance. Sessions are centrally managed and secured using Host Access Management and Security Server.

Briefly, here’s how Reflection for the Web works:

  1. An administrator installs Reflection for the Web on a web server and either installs or uses an existing installation of Management and Security Server.

  2. The administrator uses the Administrative Console (in Management and Security Server) to create, configure, and secure terminal emulation sessions. Optional security settings can be configured on a per-session basis.

  3. A user clicks a link to start a terminal session

  4. The Reflection for the Web emulation applet is downloaded to the user's workstation and is cached locally.

  5. The user connects to and communicates with the host system using the downloaded emulation applet.

  6. When the session is closed (Save/Exit), settings are sent to the Management and Security Server.
