An authorized user can access a native web application after creating an SSH tunnel using local port forwarding. An arbitrarily chosen TCP port number on the user’s host is forwarded to the IP address of a device managed by the OnBoard appliance.
• The authentication type configured for the device is the same as the authentication method configured for the OnBoard appliance.After the user creates the SSH tunnel and the user is authenticated, the user can launch a browser that runs the native web application on the device.PuTTY on Windows and OpenSSH on Linux are some of the SSH clients available for creating an SSH tunnel. The feature works with SSH protocol v1 and v1. See http://www.openssh.com tor additional clients.Common port numbers are: HTTP 80 and HTTPS 443
