Hi Gary,
After reading several guides from Sun about the Sun-Ray-Software and
DTUs my basic question remains: Is is possible to run a DTU behind a
NAT-gateway without configuring the router?
The scenario should be common, I think. Someone wants to work from
home,
so he inserts his smartcard into his home-DTU and gets his session
back.
Of course he only wants simply to insert the DTU's cable without
configuring something like bootp- or dhcp-forwarding.
Is this a possible scenario? It seems that it is when using a
"pop-up-enabled firmware".
It works for me with a Sun Ray 1. I have a private network at home,
using ipfilter on a Solaris machine as a NAT router. To make it work,
I only needed to set up Sun's DHCP server on the Solaris machine to
serve the private network. Older Sun Rays can only be configured
through DHCP. I don't use any special NAT rules for the device.
I only need to take my Java card home to get my work session at home.
This in interesting. If this works I have a lack of understanding.
Where does your sun ray at home know which srs server to connect to?
And what is a Java card? Are these the normal cards from Sun we use for
years with sun rays. As far as I know they are stateless and just carry
some unique id!? Unless you have configured your Solaris router (DHCP
server) in a special way, making it pass the ipaddress of the srs
server to the sun ray I wouldn't expect this to work.
Moreover without ugly utilization/configuration of open vpn on both
sides the data between your sun ray and your srs server is transmitted
not encrypted, isn't it?
Regards,
Andreas
