When users are enabled to access target system connections like RDP, SSH and clients over native machines, the Sectona Launcher component must be installed on the user's machine. Sectona Launcher is a single point plugin on a local machine that launches any allowed access type to be accessed natively. Sectona Launcher aggregates and incorporates the full capability of single sign-on and session management on the local machine. This silent plugin is inaccessible for users and initiated upon activation of session from the browser.
Individual users can download the executable file from the individual console while another sophisticated way is to distribute the plugin via Windows Group Policy Objects. This section lists methods for installing and distributing the plugin.
Sectona Launcher communicates with Sectona Web Access component via ports 1080, 22, 23389. These ports are required for communicating to proxies at Sectona Web Access layer or for independent proxies installed elsewhere in your environment.
Launcher operates as a utility to retrieve launch components like RDP and SSH from the Web layer and downloads the components on user workstations. Sometimes this nature of the application is not whitelisted by several leading Endpoint Management or Antivirus products. If you find Sectona launcher to be blocked by your anti-virus system, then follow whitelisting guidelines to allow this exception.
