Manually adding new services to the new hosts

To extend the range of services that can be used when accessing hosts with SDT Connector:
• Select Edit: Preferences and click the Services tab. Click Add
• Enter a Service Name and click Add
• Under the General tab, enter the TCP Port that this service runs on (e.g. 80 for HTTP). Optionally, select the client to be
used to access the local endpoint of the redirection
• Select which Client application is associated with the new service. A range of client application options are pre-configured
in the default SDT Connector (RDP client, VNC client, HTTP browser, HTTPS browser, Telnet client etc). However if you wish
to add new client applications to this range, then proceed to the next section (Adding a new client) and then return here
• Click OK, then Close
A service typically consists of a single SSH port redirection and a local client to access it. However it may consist of several
redirections; some or all of which may have clients associated with them.
An example is the Dell RAC service. The first redirection is for the HTTPS connection to the RAC server: it has a client
associated with it (web browser) that is launched immediately upon clicking the button for this service.
The second redirection is for the VNC service that the user may choose to launch later from the RAC web console. It
automatically loads in a Java client served through the web browser, so it does not need a local client associated with it.
