SafeLinx Administrator
The SafeLinx Administrator is a Java application that lets administrators configure, monitor, and maintain the resources of one or more SafeLinx Servers.
- Controlling resources and organizational units
  SafeLinx gives you control over all resources and organizational units.
- Customizing network configuration
  SafeLinx lets you customize your network configuration.
- Configuring for security
  SafeLinx includes options for configuring security.
- Managing administrators
  SafeLinx provides the tools to manage administrators.
- Managing users
  SafeLinx provides the tools to manage users.
- Troubleshooting problems
  SafeLinx helps you troubleshoot problems.
- What is...
  SafeLinx Administrator Help identifies and clarifies necessary topics.
  - Organizational unit
    An Organizational unit defines and groups resources.
  - Access manager
    The access manager program communicates with the SafeLinx Server's persistent data storage and manages the access to data.
  - SafeLinx Server
    The SafeLinx Server helps you connect mobile computing devices to your company's private intranet and the internet securely.
  - Mobile network connection
    A mobile network connection (MNC) is the SafeLinx Server's interface to a network provider.
  - Mobile access services
    Mobile access services integrate access for all supported wireless and wireline networks within a single resource.
    - Connection and transport profiles
      A connection profile is a set of configuration properties that is assigned to an MNC. The connection profile controls the security and performance options between the MNC and SafeLinx Clients that connect to it.
    - TCP-Lite
      TCP-Lite helps to reduce the overhead that is involved in session management.
    - HTTP codec
      HTTP helps reduce the over-the-air byte count.
    - Network address translation
      NAT lets the SafeLinx Server act as an agent between a public network and a private network.
    - Packet mapping
      Packet mapping is a way to redirect data through a SafeLinx Server.
    - Filter
      A filter is a way to control data flow through a SafeLinx Server.
    - Routing alias
      A routing alias routes data between the SafeLinx Server and a subnetwork.
    - Mobile network interface
      A mobile network interface supports the number of SafeLinx Clients and devices able to connect to the SafeLinx Server at the same time.
  - Cluster manager
    A cluster manager is a resource that balances load and improves availability among SafeLinx Servers.
  - Messaging services
    Messaging services enable a web application server to send messages from a wired network to a client in a wireless network.
  - HTTP access services
    HTTP access services provide a secure tunnel for HTTP communication to any HTTP Version 1.1. client.
  - Directory server
    Directory servers allow the SafeLinx Server to use databases from existing user accounts.
  - Users
    User accounts allow a user to access the SafeLinx Client in order to connect to the SafeLinx Server.
  - Authentication profile
    An authentication profile is a set of third-party configuration properties, which are assigned to a connection profile or HTTP access service.
  - Admins
    Admins are users of the SafeLinx Administrator whose responsibilities range from initial configuration of a SafeLinx Server and definition of gateway resources, to maintaining and monitoring resources.
  - Access control lists (ACLs) and ACL Profiles
    An access control list (ACL) is a table of access levels for all resource types per organizational unit (OU). An ACL profile is a collection of ACLs that you assign to administrators to define their level of access to resources.
  - Mobile device
    A mobile device is device over which the SafeLinx Client uses to communicate with the SafeLinx Server. You define mobile devices to the SafeLinx Administrator to control which devices can access the SafeLinx Server.
  - Modem profile
    A modem profile enables a modem to communicate over a mobile network connection.
  - Wireless password policy
  - Group
    A group is a way to pool certain types of resources into an organizational unit.
  - Default resources
    Default resources is an organizational unit (OU) that contains some commonly used groups, profiles, and filters that are automatically installed with the SafeLinx Server.
  - Device resolver
    The device resolver identifies devices when the devices connect to the network.

HTTP codec

HTTP helps reduce the over-the-air byte count.

HTTP codec uses TCP-Lite as an underlying transport to provide a reduction in the over-the-air (OTA) byte count. It does so by removing or byte-encoding header fields in a HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) data stream.

On the SafeLinx Client, an HTTP codec removes or encodes HTTP request headers, transmits the HTTP data stream then reconstitutes the request headers at the SafeLinx Server before it passes the traffic to target Web servers. Then, the SafeLinx Server removes or encodes the HTTP response headers before it passes the traffic to the SafeLinx Client.
