I agree to some comments here, that there could be bit more easier=20
documentation about the applet (or standalone) parameters, in one list for=
=20
example... Some parameters are the same, than in 2.1, so if one has that=20
documentation, it is a bit easier to make html page which launches the=20
applet, and provides parameters for it.
My situation is following: I don=B4t have any java programming experience,=
=20
but i managed to self-sign the 2.3.1 jar file with JDK tools relatively=20
easy... compiling the binaries to a CAB package, and self-signing that was=
=20
MUCH harder, but i managed it also (for IE VM)
I use this self-signed applet for personal use only, and want to give the=20
applet also some tunnels to configure...seems however that the tunnelling=20
parameters have changed from 2.1 version (or was it 1.x the last free=20
version...anyhow), so the same html page is not valid anymore for the same=
=20
parameters...
I found a "solution" for this however...I connect to my site, set-up the=20
applet how i want, and save settings... from this settings file i can now=20
take the correct parameters, converting then from=20
local0=3D/general/xxxx:localhost:xxxxx to <param name=3Dlocal0=20
value=3D"/general/xxxx:localhost:xxxxx">...so it worked...but there are=
still=20
some settings which are not configurable from the applet (like quiet=20
mode?)... so a documentation of the options would be needed...
Also, when these binaries are supplied also to test purposes as=20
stand-alone, shouldn=B4t it have documentation about the parameters, so=20
people can evaluate it properly, and possibly buy a signed applet version=20
from Appgate after that?
Would it be possible to update a new document from the 2.1=20
MindTerm_User.pdf file, which i found...at least some of the parameters=20
seem to work ok, but maybe there is some differences in 2.3.1?
Also, would it be possible to load a .mtp configuration file from url=20
address? now, when I use <param name=3Dpropsfile=20
value=3D"http://www.server.org/xxx.mtp">
, the applet does not start...so it is possible only to use local=20
properties file, or then that propsfile parameter has changed...?
Thank you from your answers
