BlueZone Security Server

Overview

The BlueZone Security Server is a Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003 based server software package designed primarily to provide Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption for the BlueZone terminal emulator product line as well as other SSL enabled products.  SSL is the standard for secure Internet communications and provides a cost effective solution ensuring data integrity, confidentiality, and authentication.

The Security Server is required only if Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption is desired and SSL is not available on the host telnet or FTP server.

NOTE  The Security Server requires a license key in order to operate.  If you are evaluating BlueZone and would also like to evaluate the Security Server, you can install and run the Security Server without a license key.  When installed without a license key, the Security Server will automatically operate in the “evaluation mode” by limiting the number of connections to the Security Server to three.  All other functions of the Security Server are available in the "evaluation mode".

SEE  If you would like to install the Security Server, please refer to the BlueZone Security Server Administrator's Guide located on the BlueZone CD.

TIP  All BlueZone documentation can be found on the BlueZone CD-ROM or BlueZone CD image.  To locate a particular document, double click the DocumentationRoadmap.htm document located in the root of the BlueZone CD-ROM or BlueZone CD image.
