Web resources in Digital Access component
This article describes how web resources are used in Smart ID Digital Access component.
Web resources are applications with a web interface, or any files accessible in a web browser.
Link translation is used to ensure that all traffic to registered web resource hosts are routed through the access point. With link translation, web resource hosts are as secure as a tunnel resource host. When a user connects to a page on a server via the access point, all absolute and (depending on link translation type) semi-relative links to other servers are translated to point to the access point. Translated, or re-written, links contain information about the original server and what protocol to use.
A web resource has a resource host (or root) which may have one or several paths connected to it.
A resource host defines an http or https server based on a URL.
A resource path defines a subset of a web server, if you want to restrict user access for that subset only.
Host: www.nexusgroup.com
Path: /securefolder/securepage.htm
When using web resource paths, you can set your own security levels with access rules for specific applications and files. You can also choose to allow web resource paths to derive its authorization settings (consisting of access rules and advanced settings) from the parent web resource host or path.
A first web resource, the access point root path, was added to Digital Access component during the Setup system wizard, when the access point resource host was registered. The access point root path cannot be deleted.
A number of settings can be specified globally to apply to all web resources as well as tunnel resources. Global resource settings cover internal proxy settings, mapped DNS names, filters, and link translation.
