Enabling HTML5 Support on the Gateway

Note: To enable HTML5 support on a gateway, SSL/TLS should be enabled and configured.

When HTML5 support is enabled on a RAS Secure Client Gateway (it is enabled by default), users can launch and work with published applications inside an HTML5 enabled web browser (no RAS client software is needed).

To enable or disable HTML5 support on a gateway, select the Enable HTML5 Connectivity option on the HTML5 tab. You can also specify the Port which the gateway uses to connect to the HTML5 module.

Accessing the HTML5 Interface

To connect to the HTML5 interface of a gateway and to access published resources:

  1. Open the following URL in an HTML5 enabled web browser:

    https://[Hostname]/RASHTML5Gateway

  2. On the login page, specify your user name and password and click Login .
  3. Your published resources are displayed on the virtual desktop in the browser.
  4. To launch an application, double-click on its icon. The application will run inside a browser and will look no different than if run in an RDP environment or locally.
  5. You can copy and paste text between the remote application and the local computer. To do so:
    1. Click the toolbar on the right side of the browser window.

    1. To copy text from the local computer to a remote application, type (or paste) it in the Remote Clipboard. The typed (or pasted) text is automatically saved in the remote computer clipboard, so you can use a standard paste command (e.g. Ctrl+V) to paste it into a remote application.
    2. To copy text from a remote application to the Remote Clipboard, highlight it and use the standard copy command (e,g, Ctrl+C). The text will appear in the Remote Clipboard from where you can copy it to any application locally.
  6. The main menu of the RAS HTML5 interface includes the following menu items:
    • Settings . Allows you to change the sound, redirection, and keyboard compatibility settings.
    • Change Password . Allows you to change your password.
    • The door-with-arrow icon disconnects from the HTML5 gateway.
