How can I support users with a client-side firewall that only allows connections on the HTTPS port?

If you have users with a client-side firewall that only allows connections on the HTTPS port (usually port 443/tcp), you can give them access to Secure Global Desktop by using firewall forwarding.

With firewall forwarding, all connections to Secure Global Desktop are made over a single port (the port number is configurable). The Secure Global Desktop server listens on this port for any Adaptive Internet Protocol (AIP) traffic and forwards all other traffic to the web server on the same host.
