If you are entitled to multiple desktops or applications, so that the desktop
and application selection window is open, click the Disconnect from
Server button in the left side of the toolbar in the desktop and application
selection window and disconnect from the server. If you are entitled to
only one desktop or application, and the desktop and application selection
window is not open, you can select File > Disconnect from Server from
the menu bar and then connect to a different server.
Log Off or Disconnect
With some configurations, if you disconnect from a remote desktop without logging off, applications in the
desktop can remain open. You can also disconnect from a server and leave remote applications running.
Even if you do not have a remote desktop open, you can log off of the remote desktop operating system.
Using this feature has the same result as sending Ctrl+Alt+Del to the desktop and then clicking Log Off.
NOTE The Windows key combination Ctrl+Alt+Del is not supported in remote desktops. To use the
equivalent of pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, select Connection > Send Ctrl-Alt-Del from the menu bar.
Alternatively, you can press Fn-Control-Option-Delete on an Apple keyboard.
