Using the SafeLinx Client on Linux
You can use the SafeLinx Client to create connections, change passwords, export and
import files, roam between networks, manage connection properties, and more.
Creating a SafeLinx Client connection You can use the Create Connection wizard to define new connections for the SafeLinx Client.
Connecting to the SafeLinx Server You can establish a connection to the SafeLinx Server in just a few steps.
Changing your password You can easily change the password that you use to connect to the SafeLinx Server.
Checking that applications are running before connecting You can configure the SafeLinx Client to check that specific programs are running, such as antivirus or personal firewall software, before allowing the connection to start.
Starting a connection when the operating system starts Specific connections can be configured to start automatically when the operating system starts. Log in as root and use the properties notebook to configure the service.
Automatically starting applications after connecting The SafeLinx Client can be configured to start applications automatically after a connection is established. The number of applications which you can autostart is restricted to 16. In addition to specifying the application name, you can also configure any parameters with which you want the application started.
Importing and exporting configuration files You can export the configuration file that controls how a SafeLinx Client connects to the network and then import the file to other clients to reuse those settings.
Using trace Trace can be set up from the Connections window. This action allows set up of a trace either before starting a connection to the SafeLinx Server or after the connection is already active.
Roaming between networks In IP-based networks, the SafeLinx Client can dynamically switch the secure connection to the SafeLinx Server from one physical network adapter to another. The switch to the secure connection is completed with little or no user intervention and usually with no interruption to applications.
Viewing connection status Various components that relate to the connection status which include status, statistics, roaming, logon status, and advanced settings are all available to be viewed within the Status window.
Manually suspending and resuming communications Communications to and from the SafeLinx Client can be manually suspended or resumed.
Viewing connection properties You can view connection properties such as attributes, security, networks, and autostart to understand and customize your connection.
Deleting a connection Deleting an existing connection can be completed in just a few steps.
Disconnecting from the SafeLinx Server You can disconnect from an active connection with the Connection Manager.
Changing font size and style If the default settings are not adequate, you can change the font size and font family. When you change the fonts for the SafeLinx Client, it also affects any application on your system that uses the Qt application framework.
