Chapter 6: Secure SSH Tunneling & SDT Connector
• EnteraName for the client. Enter the Pathtotheexecutablelefortheclient(orclickBrowsetolocatetheexecutable)
• EnteraCommand Line associated with launching the client application. SDT Connector typically launches a client
using command line arguments to point it to the local endpoint of the redirection. There are three special keywords for
specifyingthecommandlineformat.Whenlaunchingtheclient,SDT Connector substitutes these keywords with the
appropriate values:
%path%ispathtotheexecutablele,i.e.thepreviouseld.
%host%isthelocaladdresstowhichthelocalendpointoftheredirectionisbound,i.e.theLocalAddresseldforthe
Service redirection Advanced options.
%port%isthelocalporttowhichthelocalendpointoftheredirectionisbound,i.e.theLocalTCPPorteldforthe
ServiceredirectionAdvancedoptions.Ifthisportisunspecied(i.e."Any"),theappropriaterandomlyselectedportwillbe
substituted.
