      This article serves to guide you on how to create a Telnet-based application. Please follow the steps listed below to do so.

      Prerequisites

      Configuration Steps on Admin Portal

      1. Login to the Admin portal with Admin credentials.
      2. Navigate to Settings > ZTNA > Applications > Applications
      3. Click on the New Application button. It will expand multiple forms that need to be filled out for the new application.

        1. Fill in the required Name field with a name of your choice. The value must be unique among other applications.
        2. Fill in the required Application Address/FQDN/Hostname field with the IP address (192.168.1.100), FQDN (app1.coba.lan), or the hostname (app1) of your internal business app.
        3. Site selection is an optional field; you could leave it set to "all". however, for multisite deployments, it is recommended to choose the correct site based on the location of the application.
        4. The value for Access URL field will be automatically generated based on the application's Name. However, you can enter a custom value for the Access URL if desired.
        5. The Icon will be automatically populated if there is a standard HTTP/S application. However, you can upload a custom icon for the application if desired.
        6. The Category field is optional and allows you to specify tags for the application in order to organize available applications. If not configured, it will default to the uncategorized tag. For more information, please refer to this KB article regarding Application Category
        7. Next, ensure that the Protocols chosen is "TELNET"
        8. Port field is the port number used to connect to your application by Telnet. By default, it will use the standard TELNET port (23), but you can change its value if you are using a different port number.
        9. Single sign on is optional. If your app supports Single Sign-On (SSO) then you could configure it. More information about SSO can be found here
      4. Once every field has been filled and chosen, the only thing left to do is click "Save."
      5. Then it will give the notification that the application has been added successfully.

      To access the TELNET application you have just created, ensure that your user meets the following requirements:

      • The User has already enrolled in Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and can login properly to the user portal. Please refer to here
      • The admin has already created policy mapping for the application and user authorization. Please refer to here

      Once logged in to the user portal, you will see all the applications that you can access, including the TELNET application you created earlier.
