Gateway. The Host will validate the Gateway Server certificate before accepting the
connection, ensuring that the Host is communicating with the correct Gateway Server.
In summary, SSL can be used by the Master to authenticate a Gateway, and by a Host to
authenticate a Gateway when the Host is outside the domain:

Authorization
One of the strongest features of PC-Duo remote support solutions is the fine-grained
access control. For example, to perform remote support, you must have the following:
Proper credentials with which to connect to the Host computer
Authorization to view the Host computer remotely
Authorization to control the Host computer remotely
Your credentials are established when you connect to a Host computer (or to a PC-Duo
Gateway), and persist until the connection breaks. You can configure access and other
rights directly on the Host computer for peer-to-peer connections. Alternatively, you can
use the PC-Duo Gateway to enforce custom access rights policies on PC-Duo Master
users, roles, or groups for Gateway-managed connections.
Auditing
PC-Duo Gateway provides a detailed log of connection attempts, actions and other
activities that occur in the network. This log is also customizable and exportable to 3rd
party reporting products using standard formats.
