users / agents
Central data-based management
Secured data link
Low COO (Cost of Ownership)
Based on world-class BOSaNOVA emulation
Excellent Hebrew support
Unparalleled printer emulation
Secure connection to the AS/400 by external users via SSH server
Internal AS/400 based secured SSH or an external server (Linux or Windows)
Initial silent installation
Silent software and configuration updates
Easy, secure central management of users and PCs

Enterprise client configuration performed by sys admin on the server
Easy configuration tool for sys admin
First-time one click client installation
Client software and configuration updates are transparent to users
System administrator can modify client configuration on
the server at any time
Users may be grouped by profiles
Software updates◦ new full installs, or module replacements, can be
prepared on the sever for automatic, transparent and silent deployment
Configuration and software updates are downloaded
and updated once the client access the server
Enable central management for the Enterprise entities
Friendly and easy to use interface for defining Users, PCs, User groups and PC groups
Manages Software and Configuration updates
Handles assigning updates to users or to PCs
Assigns Policies for users or user groups
All users in a user group share configuration and policy definitions
All PCs in a PC group share software versions
Each entity can be a member of one group
The manager enables blocking of malicious or unknown entities from connecting to the AS/400
Users may be restricted to connecting from a certain PC or a PC group
By definition user might be disabled from connecting to the host, if not confirmed by the server (e.g., if server is down)
MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server database may be used for storing the management data
MySQL is a free license product widely used by data management applications
If using Microsoft SQL Server customer is responsible for database install and maintenance.
SSH is a protocol that uses public key cryptography to
transfer data securely over insecure networks
Port forwarding / Tunneling:
◦ SSH protocol includes a feature called "Port Forwarding",
or "Tunneling"
◦ Can be used to provide secure access to other services
that do not normally encrypt data during transmission
◦ When connecting to SSH session we can configure the
session to “Forward” our application port through the
encrypted SSH link
SSH server generates a secure tunnel between user and the host
All communication from external users is directed through the server
A single port serves all external users
The server forwards the communication to the appropriate host ports
Users do not have a direct access to the host and can access pre-defined ports only
Linux based SSH server
Optional industrial grade preconfigured 2U 19” rack-mountable server is supplied by BOSaNOVA
Windows-based SSH server is optional (Windows Open SSH is limited to 50 concurrent users)
Optionally, the SSH server can be installed on the AS/400
SSH VPN
SSH limits the external user access to a specific service only
With SSH, user does not have access to the entire network
SSH is easy to install, on both client and server
VPN configuration may require more effort initially
VPN licenses cost money
BOSaNOVA Enterprise Client install can support upgrade configuration definitions from older products installed on the same PC.
We support upgrade from:
◦ BOSaNOVA Secure
◦ BOSaNOVA TCP/IP
◦ Advanced Sever for SAA.
