The applet is accessible through a standard web browser and requires no physical installation on the host machine. This can be invaluable for such users as network engineers or system administrators as their work generally involves a large percentage of remote administration of systems that are geographically distanced. To install the applet simply extract the distribution zip file onto your web server. The applet HTML file is pre-configured so you can test the applet by launching the sshvnc-applet.html file in your browser. If you are deploying to environments where clients use JRE 1.4 exclusively you can remove the reference to SSHVncApplet-jdk1.3.1-dependencies-signed.jar from the APPLET tag and remove this file from the web server to avoid any additional overhead in downloading this un required dependency. SSHVnc can be configured through a series of parameters which can be tailored to your own company's connectivity requirements. For example you may want the terminal to connect automatically to a certain server when the page loads. For users interested in customizing the functionality of the applet, we have listed these and their relevant functions below. <H3>Parameters</H3> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2 border=1> <TBODY> <TR> <TD vAlign=top>Attribute</TD> <TD vAlign=top>Description</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD vAlign=top>sshapps.connection.url</TD> <TD vAlign=top>The URL of a connection profile to open.

This example creates a small window of 640 x 480 pixels in size, and connects to the host "ssh.mycompany.com" immediately when loaded. The username parameter has also been set to default to "root" and we are connecting to a VNC server on a Linux machine that is configured to accept connections on display number 1. <blockquote> <applet width="640" height="480" archive="SSHVncApplet-signed.jar,SSHVncApplet-jdk1.4-workaround-signed.jar,SSHTermApplet-signed.jar,SSHTermApplet-jdk1.4-workaround-signed.jar" code="com.sshtools.sshvnc.SshVNCApplet" codebase="." style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1; padding-left: 4; padding-right: 4; padding-top: 1; padding-bottom: 1"> <param name="sshapps.connection.host" value="ssh.mycompany.com"> <param name="sshapps.connection.userName" value="root"> <param name="sshapps.connection.connectImmediately" value="true"> <param name="sshapps.connection.authenticationMethod" value="password"> <param name="sshvnc.connection.vncHostDisplay" value="localhost:1"> </applet> </blockquote> </BODY></HTML>
