Adito

OpenVPN Application Layer Software (ALS), formerly know as Adito, is a web-based SSL VPN server written in Java. It has a browser-based AJAX UI which allows easy access to intranet services. Once installed and configured correctly, you will be able to access all your server files and the HDA (to include applications) using https://user.yourhda.com (tested with Firefox and Internet Explorer).

Optional Settings:

• Router (Settings)
  • In order to use https://user.yourhda.com to access Adito VPN from any computer using the web browser, create a Port Forward or Virtual Server rule. 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 private) to the HDA server IP address using TCP traffic type.
