2.1 Add a session

  1. Click Manage Sessions > Add.

  2. Under Configure Session, select your Product.

    Select the Session type for Host Access for the Cloud, Reflection/InfoConnect Desktop, Reflection for Windows, or Reflection for the Web.

  3. Enter a unique Session name that does not exceed 64 characters.

    Session names cannot include any of these characters: \ / : * ? " < > ¦

    NOTE:The Workspace Automated Sign-on session type has session name requirements. You can enter a name now and edit it later.

  4. Open the Comments option to enter a comment about this session. Comments are internal notes for the administrator that can be displayed in the Manage Sessions summary list.

  5. If you are adding one of these session types, continue with the product-specific steps:

    For all other products or session types, continue with step 6.

  6. Configure your File Storage preferences.

    • Overwrite setting files

      When selected, Management and Security Server compares the user’s local settings with the web server version of the settings files. When they are different, the local file is overwritten.

      By overwriting existing settings files, you can easily distribute updates; however, the users’ changes will be lost.

    • Save settings files as read-only

      The settings files can be saved as Read-only or Hidden. Users cannot change Read-only settings unless they have permissions to do so.

    • Save settings files as hidden

      Hidden files do not appear in the user's Windows Explorer unless the user configures Windows to show hidden files.

      NOTE:If a user runs Windows 7 with Internet Explorer in protected mode, file virtualization may prevent Management and Security Server from finding a folder. To turn off protected mode on the machine, go to Tools > Internet Options > Security tab. Clear the Enable Protected Mode check box. Click OK and restart Internet Explorer.

    • For sessions to be launched from an end user's list of links, choose where you want the settings files to be stored on the user’s workstation.

      • My Documents\<product folder>

      • Temp

      • your specified <User profile folder>\

  7. Click Launch to start the session in administrator mode in a separate window.

    NOTE:To configure this session to connect through the Security Proxy (if you are entitled), see Setting Up the Security Proxy Server.

  8. Configure and save the session. The settings are sent to Management and Security Server, and the saved session is added to the list on the Manage Sessions home panel.

    Note: Use the column chooser to show or hide session properties: Type, Name, Description, Direct Link, Comments, Security Status.
