Our thin client can be deployed over the Internet just as easily as a local- or wide-area network. There are three ways to
accomplish this:
- You can specify the name and port number or IP address of the server you are accessing when you enter thin client command
line parameters. See
Specifying an Internet Address on the Command Line for details.
- You can create a command line file that contains all the information needed by the ACUCOBOL-GT Thin Client to launch your
application. You can then create a link on your Web page to this file, and if your license permits it, to a self-extracting
archive for the thin client. Users can then download the thin client from your Web site and click a link to launch your program.
See
Providing Thin Client Links on the Web for details on this method.
Note: Review the license agreements of any third-party product that may be invoked when you are accessing the server from a remote
location through the ACUCOBOL-GT Thin Client. For instance, if you will be accessing a Windows server through a virtual private
network, you should review Microsoft's end user license agreement.
