Configuration options for the Host
Most of the configuration options in the PC-Duo Host Control Panel window can be
modified. These options are related to the PHSetup commands that you execute from a
command line. For more information, see the PC-Duo Host Guide.
Modify the following configuration options for PC-Duo Host:
Access tab
Access Restrictions: Specify the remote access policy:
Select Permit connection to permit remote connections from authenticated PC-
Duo Master users to your Host computer.
Select Lock out connection to prevent any remote connections from PC-Duo
Master users to your Host computer.
Select Lock out or Permit connection based on time zone to permit or refuse
remote connections to your Host computer based on the day of the week and the
time of day. You can specify permitted access by time when you click Time Zone
Settings.
Connection Permissions: You can optionally specify that you require or allow the Host
computer operator to grant remote access permission to the Host computer. If you
require this feature, you can change the Grant Permission Time. If you allow for this
feature, you change the Request Permission Time.
Select No permission required (default) to allow remote connection to your Host
computer from anyone who satisfies restrictions you specify as authentication
security settings.
Select Permission must be granted by Host if you want to know when a remote
user attempts a connection. From the Host‟s user must respond within list, select
the time within which you must accept or reject a request. When a remote
connection is requested, the Request Permission for Remote Desktop Window
appears. You can accept or reject the request. If you do not respond within the
specified time, the request is rejected automatically.
Select Permission requested from Host if you want to know when a remote user
attempts a connection. From the connection continues after list, select the time
after which the connection will be made. When a remote connection is requested,
the Request Permission for Remote Desktop Window appears. You can accept
or reject the request. If you do not respond within the specified time, the request
is accepted automatically.
Select Lock workstation if permission not explicitly granted if you want the
Host to lock the workstation prior to beginning a new remote control connection
(if user is bypassing Host permission). This prevents the new user from
"hijacking" the logged-in user's session unless he/she knows the credentials to
unlock it.
Grant Permission Time: Specify the period before the time-out when you require the
Host computer operator to grant remote access permission to the Host computer.
Lock Workstation on Default: If "Yes", the workstation is locked if the "Permission to
connect" dialog times out. The workstation is not locked if the console user responds to
the dialog. If "No", the workstation is never locked.
