Default Connection Method Changes
3
SGD keeps a record of the location of all SGD Clients that you have installed manually.
Manual installation is now supported on Mac OS X platforms.
Default log file locations have changed. On Windows platforms, output is logged to the user's application
data folder. On UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X platforms, output is now logged to the system log location.
1.2.2. Default Connection Method Changes
The Connection Method (--method) attribute specifies the mechanism used by the SGD server to access
an application server and start an application.
The default Connection Method setting has changed from telnet to ssh.
The rexec setting is no longer available.
1.2.3. New Parameters for User-Defined SGD Broker
New parameters that enable configuration of the chooser page have been introduced for the User-defined
SGD broker. The User-defined SGD broker is used with the dynamic launch feature of SGD to enable
users to select or specify the application server when starting an application.
The new parameters are as follows:
• hideAppservers. The list of application servers is not displayed in the chooser page.
• checkAppserver. For user-specified application servers, SGD checks that the application server has
been assigned to the application object. If the application server is not assigned to the application object,
an error message is shown.
1.2.4. Local Launch No Longer Supported
Support for running an application on Windows client devices (known as local launch) has been removed.
The Local Client Launch (--trylocal) attribute has been deprecated.
The Local X Server (localx) setting is no longer supported for the Window Type (--displayusing)
attribute.
The Check for Local X Server profile setting is no longer available.
1.2.5. Client Access License Pool Removed
Client Access Licenses (CALs) for non-Windows client devices are no longer stored in a license pool on
the SGD server. CALs are now stored in a location on the client device.
The tarantella tscal command used to manage the license pool is no longer available.
Note
When you upgrade an SGD server, any CALs stored in the license pool are
removed. Non-Windows client devices can use temporary CALs issued by the
Remote Desktop Session Host until the correct CALs are stored on the client
device.
See the Microsoft Remote Desktop Services documentation for more details about
CAL management.
