Web based 3270 access through SSL VPN

dpditstaff · ‎06-24-2011

We are testing the use of a web based tn3270 emulator through our ASA5510
SSL VPN appliance.  We have it configured to use clientless SSL VPN.  Access to the 3270
session works internally, however when we connect to the SSL session, the session does not
load.  Each application that we are testing uses activex components that are downloaded to
each connecting client.  Are there settings that need to be addressed to allow for the
downloading of ActiveX components.  Also, one of the 3270 applications uses java instead
of ActiveX and this app is having the same problem.  Has anyone had any experience working
with web base tn3270 emulators functioning over ASA SSL VPNs?

Duke,

We are used to have tn3270 and tn5250 plugins, if you're interested to test run those, ask your SE for more details.

We currently don't support those and it relies on 3rd part software which is licensed.

The process of making the plugin is quite easy but I don't believe we can provide anything fully functional (due to licensing), we only develop the wrapper.
