STLinks
TIP
STLinks may be deployed through Profiles and cannot be deployed through the STLinks view at this time.
The STLink software, which facilitates SealedTunnel connections on endpoints, is deployed on or near each endpoint you wish to connect within your environment.
Once deployed, the STLink can route all of your resource connections through the SealedTunnel.
The Commander enables you to deploy and manage the STLinks in your environment through the STLinks view, which can be found under the Tunnels tab group.
STLinks are deployed through Profiles and not through the STLinks view. Rather, after an STLink has been activated using a Profile's Activation Code, the STLink's information will automatically populate in the table in the STLinks view.
You can click on any STLink listed in the table to view additional information about the STLink, enable or disable the STLink, or delete the STLink if it is no longer in use.
The STLinks table has a number of key pieces of information for a variety of purposes. Description and Detail are useful to find a specific STLink when you have a large number deployed in your environment. Last Online and Status are useful to determine what STLinks are stale and which are active. Version and Build Date are useful for identifying which STLinks are up-to-date and which need to be updated.
