Firewall support
Note: You must remember this password, for there is no way of retrieving a lost
password, and the profile cannot then be deleted at a later stage. (A blank
password or a password consisting of spaces alone will not be considered for a
password, and the profile will be marked as not having a password.)
Changing your password
Select the profile, and then click Edit to change the password for the profile.
This brings up the Edit Profile dialog.
You will need to know the current password in order to change your password.
Deleting a profile
Select the profile, and then click Delete to delete a profile. You are then
prompted to confirm the deletion of the profile.
If the selected profile is password protected, you are then prompted to enter the
password.
Firewall support
In VEA, the client connects to the server using a specific port number: 2148. In
order to connect to the server through a firewall, a port on the firewall is
mapped to the 2148 port of the VEA server.
When the client wishes to connect to the server through the firewall, it needs to
specify the host and port in the following format.
Firewallhost
:
port
where:
Firewallhost
is the name or IP address of the firewall.
port
is the port on the firewall that is internally mapped to the VEA server.
When the client connects to the server, the VEA client displays the host name
(server name) that it connected to, and not the firewall-port combination in the
list of connected hosts. The host name is also displayed in the history and
favorites nodes. The firewall and port information is stored in the user profile
(wallet) and is used for subsequent connections to the same server. The firewall-
port combination is displayed only in the connection dialog.
