Browser-based terminal emulation

PASSPORT WEB TO HOST offers browser-based terminal emulation for Microsoft Internet Explorer and the Windows desktop.  With its advanced suite of robust TN3270, TN5250, VT, SCO ANSI and Wyse terminal emulation clients and FTP file transfer, the ActiveX multi-host access package can be used as an alternative emulator to incumbent solutions from Attachmate and Micro Focus.

The PASSPORT WEB TO HOST software is first installed on a web server (Apache/Tomcat, BEA, IBM WebSphere Application Server or Microsoft IIS). Once installed, users then download an ActiveX client to their desktop. The download only occurs once and does not reoccur until a new version of PASSPORT WEB TO HOST is installed on the web server. The web server plays no role in the communication to the legacy host, all communication occurs between the client emulator and the host. User configuration files, macros, etc, can be stored either locally or on the central web server.  

Ideal for distributed environment

With PASSPORT WEB TO HOST, remote or distributed Windows users are given all the tools they need for secure, reliable, productive host connectivity. Support of SSL and SSH security, VB Script for macro development, HLLAPI and an Object API for legacy application integration, comprehensive Windows Cut and Paste, and more are all standard in the PASSPORT terminal emulation. For a complete list of product features and supported operating systems, view the Product Overview.

Deploy from IBM mainframe or Microsoft IIS Server

Administrators have the option of deploying the PASSPORT ActiveX client directly from an IBM mainframe or a Microsoft Windows Server running IIS.  If you want to deploy PASSPORT from the IBM mainframe, you will need to have Apache/Tomcat, BEA WebLogic or IBM Websphere Application Server running to publish the application.
