Option Value/Format Default Description
cdrserver.permissions
R RW
Use this option to apply additional read/write
permissions that Horizon Agent has on the folders
shared by Horizon Client. For example:
n
If the folder shared by Horizon Client has
read and write permissions and you set
cdrserver.permissions=R, then Horizon
Agent only has read access permissions.
n
If the folder shared by Horizon Client only has
read permissions and you set
cdrserver.permissions=RW, Horizon Agent
will still have read access rights only. Horizon
Agent can not change the read only aribute
that was set by Horizon Client. The only thing
Horizon Agent can do is remove the write
access rights
Typical usages are:
n
cdrserver.permissions=R
n
#cdrserver.permissions=R (i.e. comment it
out or delete the entry)

Set this option to enable or disable the write
caching feature from the agent towards the client
