The technical abbreviations involved in this disclosure are explained as follows:

VPN: and the virtual private network is used for establishing a private network on the public network to carry out encrypted communication. The method has wide application in enterprise networks. The VPN gateway realizes remote access through encryption of the data packet and conversion of a data packet target address. A VPN may be implemented in a number of ways, including server, hardware, software, etc.

L3 resource: and performing data interaction on the IP-based data messages, configuring related L3 resources by the VPN gateway and automatically analyzing corresponding IP addresses, and issuing the IP addresses corresponding to the domain names to the routing table of the VPN client for the next hop to be the virtual network card used by the VPN client after the VPN client successfully logs in. When the local machine accesses the domain name, the related message is sent to the related virtual network card by inquiring the routing table, and the VPN client receives the message, encrypts and sends the message to the VPN gateway.

In the prior art, the designated software can be opened through the command line resource by increasing the SSL VPN command line resource type. Namely, command line resources are configured on SSL VPN resources, a specific command line is configured on a resource path, a user accesses the command line resources after logging in the SSL VPN, and the SSLVPN executes a corresponding command after opening a CMD command line window through a browser plug-in.

For example: the resource path of the command line resource is configured as mstsc-v 192.168.0.1, and the process is as follows:

1) The administrator configures the L3 resource 192.168.0.1, and limits to only allow the access 3389 port;

2) The administrator configures command line resources, and the resource path is mstsc-v 192.168.0.1;

3) A user logs in an SSL VPN and loads an SSL VPN resource page;

4) A user accesses command line resources through a resource page, and an SSL VPN resource page opens a CMD command line window through a browser plug-in and executes an mstsc-v 192.168.0.1 command;

however, there are a lot of inconveniences in the prior art:

1) The administrator needs to configure the L3 resource and the command line resource respectively, and there is no corresponding relationship, which increases the difficulty of the administrator in maintaining the resources. The addition and deletion requires the synchronization of the delete command line resources and the L3 resources.

2) Limited by the plug-in of the browser, if part of the browsers do not support the plug-in, the command line window cannot be started when the command line resources are accessed through the browser which does not support the plug-in, specific commands are executed, and an administrator cannot log in the SSL VPN by using a certain browser for all users.

3) Different browser plug-ins have different implementation methods, and the development and maintenance difficulty of the browser plug-ins is high.

In view of the technical defects in the prior art, the present disclosure provides a method for starting a local application, which solves the problem of needing to configure L3 and command line resources simultaneously by adding L3 resources in association with an application; by adding the SSL VPN client service program, the client service executes the starting operation of the application to solve the problem of browser plug-in dependence. The present disclosure is described in detail below with the aid of specific embodiments.
