external firewall.

Security Administration
Administering your security policy involves defining resources and then creating access control rules that
determine the availability of those resources.

Defining Resources
You have some flexibility when you specify a resource type for a given object on your network. For example, you
might define a Web application narrowly as a URL resource for business partners; employees, on the other
hand, might be given access to an entire domain, including the Web application.

Advantages
Convenient access to Web and file system resources from
any Web browser that supports SSL and has JavaScript
enabled.
No client configuration or administration tasks.
Supports the use of aliases to hide internal host names in the
browser address bar.
Single sign‐on to back‐end Web servers.
A good option for providing business partner access, because
it does not require any client configuration or administration.
Custom Port Mapping and Custom FQDN Mapping handle
Web programming technologies such as AJAX without the
limitations of URL rewriting used in translation.
