Installation on Linux (Client Mode)

XplicitTrust can run on Linux systems in two modes:

  • Client Mode: for regular users to access services (like SSH, HTTPS, remote desktop, etc).

  • Asset Mode: services (like SSH, HTTPS, remote desktop, etc) can be remotely accessed from an XplicitTrust client, or from another system running in asset mode.

On this page are the instructions for Client Mode:

Prerequisites

  1. On the firewall:
    Allow TCP port 443 (“HTTPS”) outgoing (usually already enabled).
    If possible, allow UDP port range 51820 - 60000 outgoing for best experience

  2. Your admin has created an account with XplicitTrust.
