Table 8-4. View Agent Configuration Template Settings
Setting Computer User Properties
AllowDirectRDP
X Determines whether non-View clients can connect directly
to
View desktops with RDP. When this setting is disabled,
View Agent permits only View-managed connections
through View Client.
When connecting to a virtual desktop from View Client for
Mac OS X, do not disable the AllowDirectRDP setting. If
this setting is disabled, the connection fails with an Access
is denied error.
By default, while a user is logged in to a View desktop
session, you can use RDP to connect to the desktop virtual
machine from outside of View. The RDP connection
terminates the View desktop session, and the View user's
unsaved data and settings might be lost. The View user
cannot log in to the desktop until the external RDP
connection is closed. To avoid this situation, disable the
AllowDirectRDP setting.
This setting is enabled by default.
AllowSingleSignon
X Determines whether single sign-on (SSO) is used to connect
users
to View desktops. When this setting is enabled, users
are required to enter only their credentials when
connecting with View Client. When it is disabled, users
must reauthenticate when the remote connection is made.
This setting is enabled by default.
CommandsToRunOnConnect
X Specifies a list of commands or command scripts to be run
when a session is connected for the first time.
See “Running Commands on View Desktops,” on
page 185 for more information.
CommandsToRunOnReconnect
X Specifies a list of commands or command scripts to be run
when a session is reconnected after a disconnect.
See “Running Commands on View Desktops,” on
page 185 for more information.
Connect using DNS Name
X Determines whether View Connection Server uses the DNS
name instead of the IP address of the host when connecting.
This setting is typically enabled in a NAT or firewall
situation when View Client or View Connection Server
cannot use the desktop IP address directly.
This setting is disabled by default.
ConnectionTicketTimeout
X Specifies the amount of time in seconds that the View
connection ticket is valid.
View clients use a connection ticket for verification and
single sign-on when connecting to View Agent. For security
reasons, a connection ticket is valid for a limited amount of
time. When a user connects to a View desktop,
authentication must take place within the connection ticket
timeout period or the session times out.
If this setting is not configured, the default timeout period
is 900 seconds.
CredentialFilterExceptions
X Specifies the executable files that are not allowed to load
the agent CredentialFilter. Filenames must not include a
path or suffix. Use a semicolon to separate multiple
filenames.
