This is a required step for the Map HDA Folders and Apps options to work from outside your network.
On a D-LINK WBR-2310 router, set a Virtual Server setting to forward port 443 public and 4443 private to the HDA server IP address using TCP traffic type.

His website has images as administratorwell and may be a better source of instruction. These notes are included here so that this hard-to-come-by information is not lost. If you go there, start on "Step 2." === Installing the RDP extension ===The Adito client can publish software to download and execute.Typical portable software is preferred, since clients does not always have registry write access. The RDP Extension uses the RDPsso.exe command from Microsoft and is based on the old less secure RDP. But you are connecting through a SSL encrypted tunnel, so it is considered “safe”. If you are not in managementconsole press the changebutton now (Third icon from the left located in the upper right of the Adito screen. If it says "Management Console" when you mouse over it, you need to click it to change into Management mode.) *Press “Extensions” in the “Configuration” tab (Left side menu)* Select Web Forwards Then press the “Upload Extension”. (middle left Upper Right menu)*Press the Browse-button and select the adito-application-advancednativerdpwin32.zip file, press “Upload” '''NOTE:''' The upload may take some time. Be patient. You should now have the Microsoft RDP client installed === Creating an Application === * Select Create Web Forward“Application” under the Resources section of the Left Menu.*Press the “Create Application shortcut” (Upper Right corner)* <u>Step 1: Application Extension.</u> Select Create Replacement Proxy and select the RDP application. Press "Next."*<u>Step 2: Application Details.</u> Input the name for the client computer to which I wanted to connect and give it a short description.* Enter HDA <u>Step 3: Application Options.</u> Input the local ip address for Name that client under "hostname" (e.g. 192.168.1.x or whatever it is in your network) and leave everything else the same. The default RDP port is 3389 and Descriptionis usally left alone.::(Note: You aren’t restricted to local-ips or -hosts here, you can also use internet hosts.Some people use the Adito server as the only entrypoint on their firewall)*Press next* Check <u>Step 4: Application Shortcut Policy Selection.</u> Click on "Everyone" in the left list and then click on the "Add " button. This gives permission to use the application to all users in the Everyone group.* Press next and look over the summary, then press Finish. You have now published an app called whatever you called it in Step 2 to the group “Everyone”.That means that every user that you have, will gain access to this app.You can create as many applications as you need, just repeat the wizard === Java Security Considerations for RDP ===Before connecting to the RDP from a remote pc, you will need to add an exception to the remote pc's Java's URL Exception List to Favorites get passed the errors.
