Once installed, the Security Server is easy to configure and operate. Every configuration requires a minimum of two components; a Binding, and a Connection.
A Binding specifies addresses to be used for incoming client connections and the outgoing host connection. If the addresses are different, the Security Server acts like a bridge or router spanning different networks. Bindings may span dissimilar networks, such as Ethernet to Token-ring, provided TCP/IP is bound to both NICs in the Windows operating system Network Settings. A Binding must be defined before a Connection can be defined.
See Configuration, Configuring the Bindings for more information.
A Connection defines a path through the Security Server through which clients will access host applications. See Configuration, Configuring a Connection for more information.
