Automatic tunnels are pre-configured secure connections to servers and the connections are opened automatically when Tectia Client starts up (usually when the session is started). The actual tunnel is formed the first time an application connects to the listener port. If the connection to the server is not open at that time, it will be opened automatically as well.

Automatic tunneling requires settings on Tectia Client and on the application. For instructions on defining the automatic tunnels on Tectia Client, see Settings in Tectia Client.

For instructions on defining the automatic tunnels on the application to be tunneled, see Settings in the Tunneled Application.

For instructions on defining the automatic tunnels in the Connection Broker configuration file, see Settings in the Connection Broker Configuration File.
