(iii) An advanced topology with a public relay host which securely forwards (via ssh) the Iridium RUDICS traffic to a Dock Server behind a Firewall over an encrypted channel
The Operating System of the Dock Server computer has it's own internal Firewall. This Firewall is disabled by default under the presumption that the Dock Server is on a trusted network and security is provided by an upstream Firewall. There is a section giving guidance on enabling and configuring the Operating System Firewall for interested users. There is a final brief section which is only applicable if the Gliders are required to authenticate which outlines how to add Glider user accounts to the Dock Server.
