More about using the Fluxys Client Extranet

How does user identification work with Fluxys Client Extranet?

Fluxys’ data services are available through a secured connection via the Fluxys Client Extranet. By design, no external party has access to the data that can be consulted or edited within the Client Extranet without having a valid certificate (issued by a trusted Certification Authority, VeriSign or GlobalSign) installed on the client machine.

A Certificate (or Digital ID or Public Key Certificate) is an electronic document which incorporates a digital signature to bind together a public key with an identity — information such as the name of a person or an organization, their address, and so forth and this for a given period of time. The certificate can be used to verify that a public key belongs to an individual.

Once installed at the client, the public key of the certificate can be exported and forwarded to 3rd parties for registration purposes. The certificate can then be used as an elegant and secure replacement strategy for simple login and password.

What equipment is required to use the applications within Fluxys Client Extranet?

  • The user needs a PC, an internet connection, a web browser and a digital certificate.
  • Currently, the following web browsers are supported: Internet Explorer, version 6.0 or higher. 
  • The systems are designed for optimal usage with a resolution of 1024x768.

Tips for using search operators

Use "quotation marks" to search for a series of words or a phrase in a specific order.

Boolean operators

You can find a group of words or a phrase by using the link words AND, OR and NOT:
known as Boolean operators, these words are used to combine terms in the search field.

  • AND: All the search terms must be included in the publication. Typing in Apple AND Pear will return publications containing both the word Apple and the word Pear.

     

  • OR :  At least one of the search terms must be included in the publication. Typing in Apple OR Pear will return publications containing either the word Apple or the word Pear or both.

     

  • NOT: The term preceded by NOT must not be included in the publication. Typing in Apple NOT Pear will return publications containing the word Apple but not the word Pear.
