runIT, the interface between browser and local programs

runIT

The bridge between the browser
and the local applications

You want to run a program on your computer from your browser without succeeding so far?

For security reasons, general browser access to local applications is not allowed. And that is a good thing.

But what if this access could be granted within an organization, specially and only for individual known use cases?

For this you need runIT !

SETUP

How dows runIT work?

Installation

runIT is a service that must be installed where its functions are to be executed.

So if a user should start a program from the browser on his computer, runIT must also be installed on his computer.

Background service

runIT registers itself in the operating system as a new process. The actions can then be started through this process.

Actions

Each action which is to be started by runIT must be predefined and is made known to each runIT installation by a configuration file. In this process, Information about the program to be started, for example transfer parameters and return information, must be determined. These actions can now be addressed via a unique name. The action can only be executed if is known and has been configured.

You are in control!

System requirements

Operating systems: Windows, MacOS, Linux
250 MB free hard disk space
16MB RAM (runs in the background)
available port for accessing runIT

EXAMPLES

Use Cases

The following are some use cases in which runIT could be useful for you.

SERVICE DESK

Remote Desktop

An employee contacts your support. The employee is identified by the CTI connection of WSPone and the agent selects the employee’s device. This means that all information from the Config Management is available to start the appropriate remote desktop application such as RDP or Teamviewer on the agent’s computer at the touch of a button.

Without runIT this would not be possible.
