Optional Server Features

Additional Gateway Servers

A G/On 5 license comes default with one G/On Gateway Server. Additional Gateway Servers for fail-over and load balancing can be acquired. All Gateway Servers must be managed by one and the same G/On Management Server.
This feature requires MS SQL Database connectivity and it typically requires Multiple Client Connect IP Addresses unless the gateway server cluster is connected via a load balancer.

Multiple Client Connect IP Addresses

By default, G/On offers a single IP Address for the G/On Client to connect to. This feature allows the configuration of multiple IP Addresses to be defined for G/On Client to connect to for fail over purposes or load balancing.
This feature is typically required when there is more than one Gateway Server.

Multiple Client Connect IP Ports

By default, G/On offers a single IP Port for the G/On Client to connect to. This feature allows the configuration of multiple IP Ports to be defined for G/On Client to connect for alternate ways to reach the Internet from a local network.

HTTP Encapsulation

This option allows the configuration of HTTP Encapsulation for the G/On Client to reach the Internet from a local network via HTTP proxies.

Field Enrollment (** New in G/On 5.4)

G/On 5.4 introduces a G/On Client Installation package for Windows for easy distribution of the G/On Client. This Field Enrollment option enables the G/On Administrator to allow users to remotely enroll their authentication token. The G/On Administrator decides if enrollment is automatically completed or must be approved centrally. Works only for Windows in 5.4.

LDAP User Directory

This option allows authentication of users against any LDAP compliant user directory.

MS Active Directory User Directory

This option allows authentication of users against Microsoft Active Directory.

MS SQL Server Database

By default G/On 5 uses an internal sqlite based database for storing G/On 5 data. This optional feature enables support for the MS SQL Server. This feature is required for running multiple gateway servers for shared cluster information.

Additional 10 Menu Items

By default, G/On 5 will offer 20 menu items. This feature will enable 10 additional menu items.

Multiport Port Forward

G/On 5 offers the optional feature to enable applications that communicate via multiple IP addresses and ports and consequently requires a more advanced port forwarding mechanism.
This feature is required for running Outlook via fixed port configuration.

Launch Parameter File

G/On 5 offers the optional feature to dynamically create parameter files (such as .ini files) to be passed on to applications in a G/On menu action. Provides additional application launch capabilities.
This feature is required to run Mac RDC, Filezilla and Windows MSTSC (not required for Giritech’s GTSC).

Wake On LAN

G/On 5 offers the optional feature to issue commands to start PCs in stand-by mode or hibernated. The function of this feature depends on properly configured infrastructure.
