Protege GX Web Client: Access Control from Your Browser

These days, we expect a seamless cross-platform experience from any technology we use. Why should access control, intruder detection, and building automation be any different? ICT’s Protege GX Web Client offers you complete freedom, with control over your system from wherever you are.

Providing a unified interface for enterprise clients, a solution for managing sites on the go, or even a revenue opportunity for integrators, the Protege GX Web Client provides an easy to implement and cost-effective option for anyone who wants to manage their security system in the most flexible way.

What is the Web Client?

It’s the browser-based user interface for Protege GX. Instead of interacting with your security system from a PC attached to the Protege GX server, you have the freedom to use any modern browser or device, from anywhere you have an internet connection.

The web client is installed on a web server and uses the Protege GX SOAP service to talk to the Protege GX server. You can install these components on the same machine as the Protege GX server, or on a separate physical server.

Who Can Use It?

The simple answer is anyone who has a Protege GX system. All you need is a license for each operator, and to install the SOAP service and Protege GX Web Client. You can then start using the web client straight away.

For added convenience and security, HTTPS is supported, and you can even use Windows Authentication to automatically log in to Protege GX with domain credentials, using the integration with Windows Active Directory. See the Application Note: AN-299 Using Windows Authentication with the Protege GX Web Client for more information.

Use Cases

There’s no limit to how or where the web client can be implemented, but some examples of how it can be deployed include:

Unified Interface

Unified Interface

Businesses can incorporate the web client into their intranet to build a single unified system that controls multiple applications from a single centrally managed location. With no software to deploy, setup and maintenance is kept to a minimum, while allowing the organization to scale usage as fast and as much as required without adding costly infrastructure.

Software As A Service

Software as a Service

Integrators can use the web client to provide a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. With the ability to modify stylesheets to conform to corporate branding, and control the elements that are displayed to the end user, it’s easy to build an interface tailored to the end user. With no software to install or maintain, and a central point of management, there’s more time to focus on other things.

Multi Tenanted Buildings

Tenanted Buildings

The web client provides an ideal solution for multi-tenanted buildings where each tenant has their own isolated network and where traditional software would be complicated and expensive to install. The web client uses the tenant’s own internet connection, simplifying installation while allowing each tenant to manage and control their users, areas, access levels, and schedules.
