The Nortel SNAS 4050 portal requires the client device to be running a minimum 
version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in order for the TunnelGuard 
applet to load properly. Nortel recommends adding the required JRE version and 
plugins.html as custom content to the portal. In this way, if the client does not 
meet the Java requirement and TunnelGuard does not load, the client will be 
presented with a logon screen to automatically download and install the 
required JRE.

To configure the portal to automate the process of updating the client’s JRE 
version, perform the following steps:

Create the plugins.html file, with a link to the JRE installer that you want.

Redirect clients to different sites, depending on their 
group membership (deptA or deptB).

Linktext (static text) entry:

<script>if ("<var:group>" == 
"deptA") { location.replace 
("https://nsnas.example.com/http/
inside.example.com/deptA.html");} 
else if ("<var:group>" == "deptB") 
{ location.replace 
("https://nsnas.example.com/http/in
side.example.com/deptB.html");}
</script>

Insert a link on the internal site for the client to log 
off from the portal.

Link:

<a href=https://nsnas.example.com/
logout.yaws> Logout from portal 
</a>
