Clients
The default and recommended client for all desktops is the Java Webstart client. This client doesn't need to be installed and is very simple to use. It has exactly the same functionality as the installed version. It is started by opening a web browser to your AppGate Server (ex if your AppGate is called appgate.example.com you should enter http://appgate.example.com in the address box of your web browser).
All clients for the AppGate Security Server are available from each server itself - simply use your web browser to fetch them. This is the recommended way to get the clients since this garantees that you download the right version for your AppGate. Sometimes this is not possible however and for those occasion you can download the clients from this site.
