Users work with your published resources the same way theywork with local applications and files. Published resources are representedthroughout the client desktop, including the Start menu and the Windows systemtray, by icons that behave just like local icons. Users can double-click, move, andcopy icons, and create shortcuts in their locations of choice. The ProgramNeighborhood Agent works in the background. Except for a shortcut menuavailable from the system tray, it does not have a user interface.Client Management and Administration. All users running the ProgramNeighborhood Agent connect to a central configuration file. Once launched, thisclient periodically downloads its configuration data from a configuration file onyour server running the Web Interface. You can modify the configuration data atany time to dynamically manage and control your client population throughout yournetwork from a single location and in real time.The Program Neighborhood Agent requires the Web Interface and requires thepresence on client devices of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later, or ofNetscape Navigator 4.78, 6.2, or later.Because client-server data transfer occurs over standard HTTP or HTTPSprotocols, you can use the Program Neighborhood Agent with firewalls using port80 (for HTTP) or 443 (for HTTPS).
