Enhancements and Fixes
New Enhancements and Fixes in 12.5
Following is a list of major enhancements in PC-Duo 12.5:
 Explicit web proxy support: If a customer uses a web proxy server to
manage internet traffic coming into or going out of its network, PC-Duo
applications that are outside the network (such as Host or Master) will be
able to negotiate automatically with the web proxy to reach a Gateway
server inside the network.
 Json file delivery mode: If Web Console is behind a firewall, the location
of the Json file for Host on Demand can be pre-configured, eliminating
the need to make an additional HTTP request.
 Host services enabled by default configuration option is now applicable
only to Host on Demand. Default settings are available in the Web
Console Settings > Host on Demand section of the Gateway tab in the
Web Console.
 Local network address exceptions: The Gateway server allows for one or
more addresses or address ranges to be reclassified as external, even if
they appear in the range of local network addresses.
 Trusted Device list: If the Windows account user has any trusted
devices, they can be added to list of machines that will be granted
access to the Gateway server.
 View/edit Host services enabled at connection time: Host user will be
able to specify which Host services to enable by default when Remote
Desktop connections are established; if Permission to Connect is
enabled, then Host user will be able to view/edit the list of Host services
to enable for each Remote Desktop connection request.
 Permission to Connect suppression option: If Permission to Connect is
enabled, this new option will suppress the Permission to Connect
requirement if the Host desktop is locked or waiting for logon
 Toast notification for any active connections: When the Host user logs in,
he/she will be presented with a list of any Account Users with active
Remote Desktop connections to the Host in a toast popup notification
window
 Import/export Host settings in JSON format: Host settings can be
exported to a text file in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format; Host
settings can also be imported from a text file in JSON format.
 Connect to Host settings options: New security options for accessing
Host settings from the Host tray icon and the Host Control Panel itself
allow for connection to the Host settings as different user.
 Web Console database overflow protection: Unneeded data is now
regularly purged from the SQL database.
 More Host Grouping Rules: Additional grouping rules have been added
to allow for more flexibility in creating custom collections of Hosts (see
PC-Duo Gateway Guide)
 Peer-to-Peer Host Administration: Allows access to Host settings when
Host is configured to accept connections through listed Gateways only.
Particularly useful for certain operations involving the Deployment Tool.
