This page describes the additional configuration you may have to carry out to use Tarantella with a supported proxy server. It also describes the effect of client proxy server configuration on Tarantella connections.
If you have created a customized webtop theme, it may contain HTML files which are used as "entry points" to Tarantella. An HTML file counts as an entry point if it is the first HTML page to be loaded which contains Tarantella applets. In order for Tarantella to detect and use the proxy server configured in the browser, each applet in an entry-point HTML file must include the ProxyServer and ProxyFrame proxy parameters.
Proxy servers will drop a connection after a short period of time if there is no activity on the connection. Tarantella sends keepalive packets to keep the connection open. By default this is every 100 seconds.
If you find that applications disappear after a short while, you may have to increase the frequency at which keepalive packets are sent to keep the connection open.
If only one proxy server has been configured on the client, Tarantella uses this proxy server for all HTTP, HTTPS and Tarantella connections.
Note If this is a Secure (SSL) proxy server, the Tarantella traffic is only encrypted if the user has a secure connection to the Tarantella server.
If an HTTP and a SOCKS proxy server have been configured on the client, and you are using Tarantella in firewall forwarding mode, Tarantella uses the HTTP proxy server for all HTTP, HTTPS and Tarantella connections.
If an HTTP and a SOCKS proxy server have been configured on the client, and you are not using Tarantella in firewall forwarding mode, the proxy server Tarantella uses depends on the client. If the client is:
