Gateway configuration

There are two ways of configuring the gateway to access a particular server. Both cases require a gateway folder to be configured, which is analogous to a remotely mounted directory. When users login and navigate to a gateway folder, they are actually accessing the remote file system. A gateway folder can be set as a user's home directory.

To configure the gateway to access a remote server, either:

1. Set up a gateway authenticator, where the remote server is used to authenticate a user that is trying to log in. The authenticated connection to the server is saved in the user's session. Then set up the gateway folder to use the gateway connection, or
2. Set up a gateway folder that uses a specified connection, i.e. the gateway folder has the proxied server's credentials added, and every user that accesses the gateway folder uses these credentials.
