Setting Computer User Description
Default value of the 'Log in
as current user' checkbox
X X Specifies the default value of the Log in as current
user check box on the View Client connection dialog
box.
This setting overrides the default value specified
during View Client installation.
If a user runs View Client from the command line and
specifies the logInAsCurrentUser option, that value
overrides this setting.
When the Log in as current user check box is selected,
the identity and credential information that the user
provided
when logging in to the client system is passed
to the View Connection Server instance and ultimately
to the View desktop. When the check box is deselected,
users must provide identity and credential information
multiple times before they can access a View desktop.
This setting is disabled by default.
Display option to Log in as
current user
X X Determines whether the Log in as current user check
box is visible on the View Client connection dialog box.
When the check box is visible, users can select or
deselect it and override its default value. When the
check box is hidden, users cannot override its default
value from the View Client connection dialog box.
You can specify the default value for the Log in as
current user check box by using the policy setting
Default value of the 'Log in as current
user' checkbox.
This setting is enabled by default.
Enable jump list integration
X Determines whether a jump list appears in the View
Client icon on the taskbar of Windows 7 and later
systems. The jump list lets users connect to recent View
Connection Server instances and View desktops.
If View Client is shared, you might not want users to
see the names of recent desktops. You can disable the
jump list by disabling this setting.
This setting is enabled by default.
Enable Single Sign-On for
smart card authentication
X Determines whether single sign-on is enabled for smart
card authentication. When single sign-on is enabled,
View Client stores the encrypted smart card PIN in
temporary memory before submitting it to View
Connection Server. When single sign-on is disabled,
View Client does not display a custom PIN dialog.
Ignore bad SSL certificate
date received from the
server
X Determines whether errors that are associated with
invalid server certificate dates are ignored. These errors
occur when a server sends a certificate with a date that
has passed.
This setting applies to View 4.6 and earlier releases
only.
Ignore certificate
revocation problems
X Determines whether errors that are associated with a
revoked server certificate are ignored. These errors
occur when the server sends a certificate that has been
revoked and when the client cannot verify a certificate's
revocation status.
This setting is disabled by default.
This setting applies to View 4.6 and earlier releases
only.
