Providing Users Access with Appropriate Links

Scroll Prev Top Next More

As the configuration of your FVTerm web application is very flexible, you can choose a variety of links for users to connect with.

 

First, you will probably want to setup your IIS web site containing the FVTerm application with HTTPS as the access method.  This of course affects the link you provide users, as you will be using https...note that in some environments your Firewall / Load balancer may "terminate" the https and communicate with the FVTerm application using simple HTTP.  In any case, users should have an https protocol as the start of the link!

 

Note that in your configuration, there is a default "top" level View -- this can be setup to automatically connect a user to a particular profile in the Advanced section:

 

         clip0016

 

Some users will prefer a simple server URL without needing to include the FVTerm application folder-- see Making FVTerm the Default Web Folder to achieve this.  In the following examples, if you have made FVTerm the default folder, omit the "/fvterm" from each example...

 

If you have set a Profile for Auto-Start, your links for users can simply point at the FVTerm folder.  For example, if your server's URL is FVTerm.MyCompany.com, then the link would be:

 

 https://fvterm.mycompany.com/fvterm

 

However if you have made the FVTerm application the default for your IIS Website, then the url will be:
 
 https://fvterm.mycompany.com

 

Note that if you do not make a specific Profile the default for the View, when the user enters one of the above links, they will be presented with the Icons or Tiles with one or more Profile Names from which to click and connect.

 

Automatic Connections without using the View Session Profile to Auto-Start

 

There are a number of query settings that can be utilized to provide users with an auto-start link that works for different Profiles for different users.  Here is an example when FVTerm is not the default folder and the Profile name is HQMainframe:

 

 https://fvterm.mycompany.com/fvterm/?profile=HQMainframe&AutoStart=yes

 

Simply put, you include the query setting "profile" set to the profile name and "AutoStart=yes" to automatically start the session.

 

Note that you may see an alternative that uses the default web page SCTerm.html:

 

 https://fvterm.mycompany.com/fvterm/SCTerm.html?profile=HQMainframe&AutoStart=yes
