Accessing a Device Through Both the Browser and the Container
Kron PAM lets you publish an HTTP or HTTPS device so that users reach it through the container, through the Firefox or Chrome browser, or through both at the same time. You control this behaviour with the accessOverContainer parameter on the device. This section explains each option and describes how to enable access through both methods for the same portal.
Every HTTP or HTTPS device that you publish through HTTP Proxy has a Custom Properties panel. The accessOverContainer parameter in this panel decides where the device opens. The parameter accepts three values:
Value | Access behavior |
|---|---|
true | The device opens only through the container. It does not appear in the Firefox or Chrome device list. |
false (or not defined) | The device appears in the device list and opens through the Firefox or Chrome browser only. |
both | The device opens through the container and also appears in the Firefox or Chrome device list. Users can reach it either way. |
When you set accessOverContainer to both, the same portal stays available through the container and the browser. Users who open the device from the container reach it through Kron PAM, and users who open it from Firefox or Chrome continue to reach it from the browser.
Enabling Access Through Both the Browser and the Container:
To let users reach the same HTTP or HTTPS device through both the container and the browser, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to DeviceManagement > Devices.
2. Select the HTTP or HTTPS device that you want to publish through both methods.
3. Open the CustomProperties panel of the device.
4. Set the accessOverContainer parameter to both.
5. Save the device.
After you save the device, users can reach it through the container and can also find it in the Firefox or Chrome device list.
When accessOverContainer is set to both, the device appears in the device list in Firefox or Chrome, and users open it the same way they open any other browser-based device.
When accessOverContainer is set to both, the device also opens through the container. Kron PAM starts the container session and connects the user to the device.
