Clientless Access

1. Usage Scenario

Except for the ESA client, we also offer non-client access to enterprise applications via web browser. We support clientless access to applications with http/https/ssh*/rdp*. It provides a simple access for:

• External users, like: partners, part-time workers.
• Internal users with BYoD
• Temporary users

2. Operation Steps

1） Go to Web Security Gateway–>Basic Configuration to configure your web proxy server.

2） For security access, we recommend customers to use your own certificate and domain for web access.
Here are the steps:

• Config a domain and upload certificate. We suggest to use 4-level domain name, For example: alex.esa.ABC.com. ABC refers to your company name.
• Contact CDNetworks technical service to config CNAME to ESA platform. After configuration, CDNetworks technical service will return the CNAME domain, for example: nsesa.cdnetworks.com
• On your name server, CNAME or NS your domain: **.esa.ABC.com* to nsesa.cdnetworks.com
• After configuration completed, please send the alex.esa.ABC.com URL to your users.

3） User login: Copy the proxy URL: alex.esa.ABC.com to browser and then you will get ESA login page.

After login to ESA via URL, when user visit the application, for example: ERP, the actual visiting URL will be erp.esa.ABC.com. Users are visiting the proxied domain instead of real domain. By doing this, we can shield your applications from been exposed to Internet.
