Connect Tunnel Service

Topics:

The Connect Tunnel Service client is a Windows client component of the Dell Secure Mobile Access (SMA) solution that enables secure, authorized access to Web-based and client/server applications and Windows file shares.

In a server environment, you can install and configure an add-on component—Connect Tunnel Service —so that the VPN connection starts automatically without user intervention: no user login is required and no user interface or icons are displayed.

For example, you may want to synchronize data between a remote system in the field and a file server secured behind the VPN at corporate headquarters. On the remote system—running the Windows Server platform—CTS is configured to run at a specific time, connect to the corporate file server, and synchronize its database with the master database at headquarters.

Connect Tunnel Service is supported on Windows Server 2008 R2 and above.
