The Ziti Desktop Edge is an application that is necessary to integrate applications which cannot embed a Ziti SDK directly into the application. This is colloquially known as a "brown field" Ziti-enabled application because the app itself has no understanding that it has been Ziti-enabled.
In order for an application that has no knowledge of being Ziti-enabled to work the connections established by the app must be intercepted before leaving the computer and routed through the Ziti network. This is accomplished by three main components:
- An electron interface to allow users to view information about their current local environment
Build steps
- npm install
- npm start
Steps to create release
- npm install
- npm make
