The Galileo SSL connection allows direct access to the Apollo and Galileo hosts through a secure Internet connection. You may use it as a connection solution for remote Agents who work from home, as your primary agency connection, or both.
SSL, short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a commonly used protocol for managing the security of a message transmission on the internet. Galileo SSL enables you to use your existing computers and print servers to access the Apollo and Galileo hosts over the public Internet via an encrypted, secured connection.
The SSL software installation is transparent and automatically makes the required changes to configurations of Focalpoint, Galileo Desktop and Galileo Print Manager. If you are using Terminal Servers or Citrix Servers, some manual configuration work is required. Once the connection has been established, you will continue to work on Focalpoint, Viewpoint or Galileo Desktop as you do today.
When installed, Galileo SSL creates a "service" on the computer and this "service" in turn connects Galileo Desktop, Galileo Print Manager, and potentially other 3rd party gateways to Galileo's host systems.
The Galileo SSL service uses standard SSL protocols and ports; TCP port 443. As an example, this is the same port which a web browser would use to connect you to most banking sites using https:// URLs.
